    F#mPulls up the Dshades ten thouAsand miles in the sky
    F#mShe's hanging with the Dstars and wonAder why

AOne she hasn't felt before

She turned the key and she put the car in drive

From the window I watched her disappear from my life

F#m D A

Said this town is dead but she's alive

F#m D A

Gonna take her chances in the big city lights

D A E F#m

I'm on the outside here tonight

D A E

You're turning left because you know it's not right

[Chorus]

She wants to be a movie star

Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car

She's been gone so long in the dark

She don't know what she wants

[Verse 2]

F#m D A

She's leaving on an jetplane in the night

F#m D A

Pulls up the shades ten thousand miles in the sky

She's hanging with the stars and wonder why

They're so high up but yet she's falling inside

With every scene maybe there's a price

D A E

You can sell it all but you can't buy back the time

[Chorus]

She wants to be a movie star

Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car

[Bridge]

It's so quiet there

But there's a fire there

Out of her control

Lying on the fourth floor

It's a crying shame

She can feel the flame

Maybe this love is born

One she hasn't felt before
