Intro: Bm G 

 Bm 
Hollywood is such a dream, 
                                      G 
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful, 
   Bm 
A movie man said she could be a star, 
                      G 
A beauty queen, or a cover girl, 
       A          F#            Bm 
She believes and packs up her things, 
         G       A         Bm 
And the wall of silence begins, 

Bm 
Every night was party night, 
                                G 
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay, 
      Bm          
And when he'd had enough, he threw her out, 
                          G 
And she found work in a small cafe, 
          A           F#         Bm 
When she called they put her on hold, 
         G       A        Bm 
And the wall of silence grows, 

   G A 
Bm G A  
Bm G A 
Bm G A 

 F#m 
Give me a break, 
 F#m 
Give me a break, 
  G 
This is Hollywood, 
F#m 
Open the door, 
F#m           Bm A 
Open the door, 
  E                 G A 
What am I going to do, 
                        Bm A 
And when the money runs out, 
                     E 
And there isn't any doubt, 
           G       A       D G Dsus4 G A Bm 
That I'll have nowhere to go, 

 Bm 
Hollywood is just a dream, 
                                      G      Bm G 
But when you're only seventeen, it's magical, 
  Bm  
She went home to hide away, 
                                        G 
She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door, 
          A        F#          Bm 
Till the day she smiles and recalls, 
         G       A       Bm G Bm A E G A Bm 
And the wall of silence falls...
