INTRO: A

A                                       E
Takin' a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin'
                                                     A
Ain't nothin' like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
                                            D
Except maybe all of them cars lockin' the I-5
       A                                                E                     A
Yeah I find it amazin' these rats I've been chasin' are helpin' me remember a time
 

CHORUS:
         D                                 A
When the only L.A. I knew was the Lower Alabama
                 E                                A
Back when me and Hannah was wishin' on a southern star
         D                                        A                D
Now it's so complicated I really hate it, why'd I ever wanna go so far
       A                                        E                           A
Takin' depression pills in the Hollywood Hills, actin' like I'm playin' the part


All this grippin' and grinnin', losin' and winnin' and runnin'
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphault
What the hell was I thinkin', drinkin' like I'd never get caught
These high dollar women and the fame and the fortune ain't worth the ticket I bought


CHORUS
 
       A                                        E                           A
Takin' depression pills in the Hollywood Hills, actin' like I'm playin' the part
