                                                     Whoaaaaa


C
 He couldn't keep you safe if he tried
                                       Am
 But when he let you see in his liquid eyes
               G               F
 It became a crime, take him away

C
 Doesn't know how to love

 Doesn't know how to win
                                 Am
 He only knows he can't be taken in
                   G                   F
 But he's on the road, he's living in sin
Am            G                         F      Em   G   F
 Just as it seems, he's another James Dean


C                  G          F
 Staying up, he's restless through the night
C                    G         F
 While Santa Monica signs are fading
Am                            G             F
 He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
                             C    G  F  C    G  F  Am
 Another Hollywood hero's baby
                               C
 You wouldn't like him if he stayed
                     
 A hero's dying every day


C
 Mary Ann wasn't fitting in with his lies
                                                     Am
 Learned more from a fool than she learned from the wise
                     G                F
 Crying out to the skies "take him away"
C
 He's been given the hands to destroy the world
                                         Am
 He's been given a taste to destroy the girls
                   G                      F
 Given too many schemes, a threat to be seen
  Am    G                      F
 Ooooooooh he's another James Dean


C                  G          F
 Staying up, he's restless through the night
C                    G         F
 While Santa Monica signs are fading
Am                            G             F
 He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
                             
 Another Hollywood hero's baby
C                   G         F     C
 Riding strong it feels like he belongs
                        G          F
 While Santa Monica's dreams are sleeping
Am              G             F
 Hush now he'll always carry on

 He's a Hollywood hero's baby


  Am
 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
  F

           Am                       F

C                  G          F
 Staying up, he's restless through the night
C                    G         F
 While Santa Monica signs are fading
Am                            G             F
 He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
                             
 Another Hollywood hero's baby
C                   G         F     C
 Riding strong it feels like he belongs
                        G          F
 While Santa Monica's dreams are sleeping
Am              G             F
 Hush now he'll always carry on
                            C
 He's a Hollywood hero's baby
