Intro:

Hollywood is such a dream,

And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,

A movie man said she could be a star,

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,

Every night was party night,

She was everyone's delight, he let her stay,

And when he'd had enough, he threw her out,

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

F#m

Give me a break,

F#m

Give me a break,

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,

And there isn't any doubt,

G A D G Dsus4 G A Bm

That I'll have nowhere to go,

Hollywood is just a dream,

G Bm G

But when you're only seventeen, it's magical,

She went home to hide away,

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...
