D 
new to town with a made up name  
Bm 
in the angel's city chasing fortune and fame 
G                                        D       A 
and the camera flashes make it look like a dream  
D 
you had it figured out since you were in school  
Bm 
everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool  
 G                              D 
so overnight, you look like a 60s queen  
A       G             Bm 
another name goes up in lights  
 G                 A     D 
like diamonds in the sky...

 D 
now it's big black cars and riviera views  
Bm 
and your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you  
G                                                  D           A 
and your secrets end up splashed on the news front page  
D 
and they tell you that you're lucky but you're so confused  
Bm 
cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used  
G                                         D            A 
and all the young things line up to take your place  
G                       Bm 
another name goes up in lights  
 G                          A 
you wonder if you'll make it out alive 
[Refrain]
D 
and they'll tell you now  
 A

G 
yeah, they'll tell you now  
A 
you're the lucky one

D 
it was a few years later I showed up here  
Bm 
and they still tell the legend of how you disappeared  
G                                                  D                  A 
how you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out  
D 
they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere  
 Bm 
chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square  
 G                                             D           A 
and it took some time, but I understand it now...  
  G                        Bm 
cause now my name is up in lights  
    G                 A
