Hollywood

(intro)

    E
The way we're living
F#
makes no sense
        Ebm
Take me back to the
       G#m
age of innocence
E           F#
  I want to go back then
        Ebm
Take me back to the
       G#m
age of innocence
Back to the age
       Ebm
of innocence

(interlude)  G#m  E  B  F#  G#m  E  Ebm

(verse 1)
     G#m
When flaws were fixed
   E
by laws and books
     B
When singers wrote
         Ebm
songs instead of hooks
         G#m
When the value wasn't
E
in the price
         Ebm
When the fight for life
was in the civil right
         G#m
When you couldn't live
                E
life through a screen
                    B
When everything you knew
                  Ebm
was as good as it seems
              G#m
When the only worry was
               E
the concept of sin
              Ebm
When did it begin?

(chorus)
  E           F#
I wonder if I could
           Ebm      G#m
go back to old Hollywood
     E
When presidents dropped
F#
blonde bombshells
   Ebm
Instead of creating
    G#m
the perfect hell
    E
The way we're living
F#
makes no sense
        Ebm
Take me back to the
       G#m
age of innocence
E           F#
  I want to go back then
        Ebm
Take me back to the
       G#m
age of innocence
Ebm
Back to the age
of innocence

(interlude) G#m  E  B  F#  G#m  E  Ebm

(verse 2)
           G#m
When pharmaceuticals weren't
                   E
there to make life beautiful
         B
When the way that we were born
              Ebm
was more than suitable
          G#m
When everybody thought that
                  E
they could make a difference
        B
And you couldn't get your
              (hold)
fix within an instant

(repeat chorus)

(interlude 2x)  G#m    C#m    F#    Ebm

(bridge)
  E
I wanna get older
            F#
Don't wanna fight my age
    G#m
Now take me back
       Ebm
to the simpler days
  E             F#     G#m
I wonder how it all happened
  E
I wanna get older
            F#
Don't wanna fight my age
            G#m
Don't wanna be the prey
        Ebm
to the scalpel's blade
    E              F#
Now please tell me please
       Ebm
tell me, whatever happened

(repeat chorus)
