G 
  I was looking for a change of scene
 
  I was looking for a change of scene 
F 
  You were looking at a magazine 
       C 
It was red carpets and limousines 
        G 
And the grass seemed so much greener 
 
And the grass seemed so much greener  
G 
  All we wanted was to get there fast
 
  All we wanted was to get there fast 
      F 
So we packed up everything we had 
C 
Running on hope and a tank of gas 
     G 
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers 
 
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers  
F                     Em 
  We couldn’t wait to leave that life
 behind 
  We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind 
Am                                 
   Trying to find salvation in that
 C 
 city limit sign
   Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign
[Chorus]

And one of those LA nights

When the stars come out

Oh, the stars come out, and shine  
         G 
And they burn so bright  
               D 
They drown the downtown lights 
         C 
When the stars come out 
             G 
Oh, when the stars come out

G 
  Everybody’s somebody someday 
F 
  Everybody’s got a part to play 
C 
  Everybody’s trying to find a way 
   G 
To say what needs saying  
G 
  Everybody’s got a friend of a
 friend 
  Everybody’s got a friend of a friend 
F 
  Somebody that can get you in 
C 
  Begging angels for a sin 
     G 
In a game that we’re all playing  
F                                  
  You and I we’re gamblers, holding
 Em 
 cards that we can’t see 
  You and I we’re gamblers, holding cards that we can’t see 
Am                                  
  And I’m betting on you, and you’re
 C 
 betting on me
  And I’m betting on you, and you’re betting on me

They drown the downtown lights

  Down on the freeway, the sun is out
 of sight 
  Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight 
Am                      C 
  And I got a feeling tonight might
