[Intro]
Riff x2
[Verse 1]
C Welcome to the big time, you're bound to be a star Bb F And even if you don't go all the way, you know that you'll go far C This place is for rats, it can turn you upside down Bb F There's no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F Lots of promises in the dark G Am Bb Don't you open your heart
[Chorus]
C Eb5 D5 Cuz it don't mean nothing, those words that they say Bb F No it don't mean nothing, those games that people play C Eb5 D5 It don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime Bb F No it don't mean nothing 'til you sign it on the dotted line
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C The director smiles as you walk in the door Bb F He says "I love your work, babe, but you're just not what we're looking for" C And it's never what but who it is you know Bb F So easy to get stuck in all that California snow, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F Take a good look around and you'll find G Am Bb People tryin' to mess with your mind
[Chorus]
C Eb5 D5 Cuz it don't mean nothing, those words that they say Bb F No it don't mean nothing, those games that people play C Eb5 D5 It don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime Bb F G No it don't mean nothing 'til you sign it on the dotted line
[Bridge]
Am Hollywood can be so lonely F make you the winner of a losing fight Am The party is never over F The stars are always shinin' Am Bb Doesn't matter if it's day or night
[Guitar Solo]
Riff x2
[Verse 3]
C The producer says "let me change a line or two" Bb F And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you C And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside F F When you're trying to make a living, there ain't no such thing as pride, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F Lots of promises in the dark G Am Bb But don't you open your heart
[Chorus]
C Eb5 D5 Cuz it don't mean nothing, those words that they say Bb F No it don't mean nothing, those games that people play C Eb5 D5 It don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime Bb F No it don't mean nothing 'til you sign it on the dotted line
