A minorAm Dm7Dm7 FM7 E7E7
🎸 Verse 1:
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
I saw a man without his shoes
FM7
On the corner drinking booze
E7E7
He was screamin' "Life ain't fair"
A minorAm CM7
And he said his name was Pete
FM7
Asked him why he's on the street?
E7E7
He looked down with such despair
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
He told me "Back when I was 21
I had a wife, a job, a son
FM7 E7E7
I remember when life was so sweet
A minorAm
But then I started gamblin'
CM7
I lost my house, my wife, my kid
FM7 E7E7
Ever since can't get back on my feet
Dm7Dm7 E7E7
So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"
🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
The only time it rains in Hollywood
FM7 E7E7
Is when somebody cries
A minorAm CM7
People come out here to chase their dreams
Dm7Dm7 E7E7
But dreams come here to die
A minorAm Dm7Dm7 FM7 E7E7
Where the dreams come to die
A minorAm
Where the dreams come to die
🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
Walkin' Hollywood and Vine
FM7
Saw a woman with a sign
E7E7
Asked me could I spare some change?
A minorAm CM7
She had tombstones in her eyes
Dm7Dm7
As I caught her by surprise
E7E7
Asked her why the long face?
A minorAm
And she said "Back when I was just 18
Dm7Dm7
Had dreams of the silver screen
FM7 E7E7
Left Detroit to be a movie star
A minorAm
And I had a taste of fame
CM7
That was until I met *******
FM7 E7E7
Now I sleep on Sunset Boulevard
Dm7Dm7 E7E7
So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"

A minorAm Dm7Dm7
The only time it rains in Hollywood
FM7 E7E7
Is when somebody cries

People come out here to chase their dreams
Dm7Dm7 E7E7
But dreams come here to die
A minorAm
Where the dreams come to die

A minorAm Dm7Dm7
I heard a kid playin' guitar
FM7
Singin' out his broken heart
E7E7
He wore a hat to hide his face
A minorAm CM7
And Lord knows that times are hard
FM7
I threw some money in his jar
E7E7
'Cause I loved the way he played
A minorAm
And he said "I been singin' seven years
Dm7Dm7
And every night I shed a tear
FM7 E7E7
'Cause I don't know if anybody cares
A minorAm
About the music that I write
CM7
'Cause it's the story of my life
Dm7Dm7 E7E7
One day I will be a millionaire"
