    Bb                  G7                 Bb          F
You said that you would win(?) your way to fortune and fame

Now I've given everything to keep you warm and clean

I didn't bat an eye when you changed your name
                     Bb             C7               Bb     F

He lets you drive his  sporty new Camero

Wonder just how many girls he's told that story to
    Bb               G7           Bb      F
How many dreams have gone away in sorrow
                     Bb                  C7          Bb  F
I'm getting tires of biting my nails and pumping gasoline
                     Bb                            C7

unclean

This wicked cities bound to do us harm

Now all this time I helped you with your promising career
  Bb             G7              Bb       F
I never said one word about your singing
F                                       Bb          F
I just want to let you know that you'll still be my star
       Bb             G7
If you say goodbye to Hollywood
            Bb             F
And do your singing in the shower
    Bb    F       Eb        Bb                   C7             Bb F
