Her lips were a promising picture
         Eb        F7sus4 Bb
Warm and celluloid
        Bb
But her words had me thinkin' too deeply
     Bb/Ab

Made me look just a little bit closer

Between the lines

With your head burning under the starlight

Well she knows all the famous musicians

Sometimes she sees how they play

And when the back stage passes are going
          Eb                F7sus4 Bb
She really knows how to pay

She's a product of rock 'n' roll livin'
         Bb/Ab
She's a victim of Hollywood hate
