G 
  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  
G 
  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  
F                     Em 
  We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind 
Am                                  C 
   Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign
[Refrain]
                 G 
And one of those LA nights 
         D 
When the stars come out 
        C                   G 
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
[Strophe]
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 
F 
  Somebody that can get you in 
C 
  Begging angels for a sin 
     G 
In a game that we’re all playing  
F                                   Em 
  You and I we’re gamblers, holding cards that we can’t see 
Am                                   C 
  And I’m betting on you, and you’re betting on me
[Refrain]
                 G 
And one of those LA nights 
         D 
When the stars come out 
        C                   G 
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

F                          Em 
  Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight 
Am                      C 
  And I got a feeling tonight might be the night 
        C 
Yeah, tonight might be the night
[Refrain]
             G 
One of those LA nights 
         D 
When the stars come out 
        C                   G 
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

Oh, when the stars come out

Ohhh oh oh
