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...
