[Verse 1]
C Welcome to the big time, you're bound to be a star
BbF And even if you don't go all the way, you know that you'll go far
C This place is for rats, it can turn you upside down
BbF There's no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
GAF Lots of promises in the dark
GABb Don't you open your heart
[CHORUS]
'Cuz it don't mean nothing, those words that they say No it don't mean nothing, those games that people play It don't mean nothing, no victim, no crime No it don't mean nothing 'til you sign it on the dotted line
[Pre-Verse] Same as verse, then fill -- F G G#
[Verse 2]
C The director smiles as you walk in the door
BbF He says "I love your work, babe, but you're just not what we're looking for"
C And it's never what but who it is you know
BbF So easy to get stuck in all that California snow, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
GAF Take a good look around and you'll find
GABb People tryin' to mess with your mind
2nd Chorus -- repeat first chorus, then F G A
[Bridge]
A Hollywood can be so lonely
FFGA make you the winner of a losing fight
A The party is never over
F The stars are always shinin'
GA Doesn't matter if it's day or night
Guitar solo -- rhythm plays opening/chorus riff x 2
[Verse 3]
C The producer says "let me change a line or two"
BbF And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
C And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
FF When you're trying to make a living, there ain't no such thing as pride, oh no
