She s history. No one would give her a star on the walk

It s no mystery. Acted in school at the tenderest age

She had visions of contracts and thousands of people in line, to see her

Knocking on door after door after all of this time, now she s not sure

Up in Hollywood, stayed with an agent she met in a bar
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Laughed when he told her he'd make her a star

She s the face on the cutting room floor

Sunrise on sunset she wont be around but they ll replace her with so many more

Poor little face on the cutting room floor
C majorC D MajorD G+G
(fade) Face on the cutting room floor
