G
I was looking for a change of scene
F
You were looking at a magazine
       C
It was red carpets and limousines
        G
And the grass seemed so much greener
G
All we wanted was to get there fast
       F
So, we packed up everything we had
C
Running on hope and a tank of gas
     G
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers

F                   Em
We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind
Am                               C
Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign


Chorus:
                 G
And one of those LA nights
         D 
When the stars come out
        C                  G   
Oh, the stars come out and shine
         G
And they burn so bright
               D 
They drown the downtown lights
         C 
When the stars come out
             G
Oh, when the stars come out


Everybody’s, somebody, someday
Everybody’s got a part to play
Everybody’s trying to find a way
To say, what needs saying

Everybody’s got a friend of a friend
Somebody that can get you in
Begging angels for a sin
In a game that we’re all playing

You and I, we’re gamblers holding cards that we can’t see
And I’m betting on you, you’re betting on me

Chorus


Bridge:
F                        Em
Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight
Am                    C
And I got a feeling tonight might be the night
      C
Yeah, tonight might be the night


Chorus
