amongst Cother things like Amhuman beings they really aren't Emwhat they seem
they'll Flie, cheat and Gsteal
[Chorus]

[C -  Am-  Em-  F- G]
About candlelight forget about stupid fights
And it's funny to me I can't remember a single thing
that we fought about now that I'm alone but I guess that's how it goes
but I do remember every time that you kissed my neck oh I loved that the best
won't be getting none of those now that I'm an L.A. queen and away from you
but darling remember please that people lie and cheat and steal
[Chorus]
[Dm -  G-  F-  G-  Dm-  G-  F-  G- Fm]
to get ahead of you
And I'm afraid it's true
when the world comes crashing down what are they to do?
And I'm not blaming you for being naive
but now just close your eyes and start dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
(Instrumental part)
[C -  Am-  Em-  F-  Gx2]
CDarling come get your cAmoffee pot
