   G                     D                       Em
1. Baby, baby, what do I do? Playing my tune for you,
                         C
playing my tune for you, just to get you in the mood.
                     G                            D
Everybody's going to Hollywood, you're driving me mad,
                               Em
but I'm smiling to the crowd instead.
  C                                                  G
A lot of money is at stake, this is hit and that's a fake.
                                D
2. This is what you mean to me, this is what they all should see,
Em                                C7
make a makeup in a foolish style, telling the truth by making a big?
    G
Lie when I come, I come but nothing's at ease,
D
breaking up the whole is a modern disease,
Em
maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke.
       C7
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke.
Refr.:
   G                          D
My love, everything's an interview
                     Em                              C7
and nothing's really new and everybody's looking for clues.
                                        G
And you know what to do with a clue, my love.
                    D                                         Em
I get ready for the show, they're waiting and they will never go.
                      C                        G     D Em C7
This night is just to goooo, and it's only for show.
   G
3. Dig that deal and be a millionaire,
D
drinking cocktails in the stratosphere,
Em
getting jetlagged with my business friends
C7
in these supersonic wonderlands.
G
There's a shadow on the graphic display,
D
first he's smiling then he's fading away.
Em
Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke,
       C7
it's a joke after joke after joke after joke.
Refr.
   G                          D
My love, everything's an interview
                     Em                              C7
and nothing's really new and everybody's looking for clues.
                                        G
And you know what to do with a clue, my love.
                    D                                         Em
I get ready for the show, they're waiting and they will never go.
                      C                        G     D Em C7
This night is just to goooo, and it's only for show.
