[Verse 1]

D
I was looking for a change of scene
C
You were looking at a magazine
G
It was red carpets and limousines
D
And the grass seemed so much greener

D
All we wanted was to get there fast
C
So we packed up everything we had
G
Running on hope and a tank of gas
D
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers

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

[Chorus]

D
And one of those LA nights
A
When the stars come out
G D
Oh, the stars come out, and shine

D
And they burn so bright
A
They drown the downtown lights
G
When the stars come out
D
Oh, when the stars come out

[Verse]

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

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

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

[Chorus]

D
And one of those LA nights
A
When the stars come out
G D
Oh, the stars come out, and shine

D
And they burn so bright
A
They drown the downtown lights
G
When the stars come out
D
Oh, when the stars come out

[Chorus solo]

D A G D
D C G D

[Bridge]

C Bm
Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight
Em G
And I got a feeling tonight might be the night
G
Yeah, tonight might be the night

[Chorus]

D
One of those LA nights
A
When the stars come out
G D
Oh, the stars come out, and shine
D
And they burn so bright
A
They drown the downtown lights
G
When the stars come out
D
Oh, when the stars come out
G
When the stars come out, ohh
D
When the stars come out
