EM7 D#m
Miller time
C#m Bm7 D#m
at the bar where all the English meet__
EM7 D#m C#m
She used to drink in the hills
Bm7 D#m
Only now she drinks in the val-leys
EM7 D#m
Where ev-er-y road
C#m Bm7
has a name like Beach-wood Avenue
D#m
or so it see-eems
EM7 D#m Em
The Croy-don gi-r-r-r-l
Bm7 D#m
could really hope to find a home, but
Em DM7 GM7 Bm7
With a thousand miles of real estate to choose from
Em DM7 GM7 Em7
You be-gin to see the value of your free-dom...
EM7 D#m C#m Bm7 D#m
The moon is bright in the haze above old Holly-wood__
EM7 D#m C#m
And deer look down from the hills
Bm7 D#m
And it's three o'clock in the morning__
EM7 D#m C#m Bm7 D#m
Pill in hand, you can hear his golden surfer voice
EM7 D#m Em A Bm7 D#m
Crying ou-ou-ou-out, "Mummy won't come out of the bathroom!"
Em DM7 GM7 Bm7
And you'd hoped he'd say he's sorry if he hit yer
Em DM7 GM7 Bm7
but he's buried in the screenplay of this feat-ure (feature)
Bm7 Em7
Screen kiss, one screen ki-iss
GM7 A7
Straight from a film, I forget who was in
Bm7 Em7
Screen kiss, one screen ki-iss
GM7 A7
Blue filter lens, 'n'a pool of vaseline
D Bm7
But all the rushes look the same
G D Bm7
Only there's a mo-vie, I wouldn't pay to see again, aye___
Em7 Bm7
If it's the one with him in
EM7 D#m C#m Bm7 D#m
You__ and I could be a mile above the earth tremors___
EM7 D#m C#m
Hold to me and we'll climb___
Bm7 D#m
You could sneak out while he's sleep-ing
EM7 D#m C#m Bm7 D#m
/ Su-i-cide in the hills above old Holly-wood___
EM7 D#m Em
Is never gonna change the wor-r-r-r-ld
Bm7 D#m
Change the world, over-ni-i-ight
Em DM7 GM7 Bm7
Any more than the in-vention of the six-gun... child____
Em DM7 GM7 Bm7
Any more than the dis-covery of Rad-i-um, oo-oo-ooh
Em DM7 GM7
Or California tipping in the ocean___
Bm7 Em7
Screen kiss, one screen ki-iss
GM7 A7
Straight from a film, I forget who was in
Bm7 Em7
Screen kiss, one screen ki-iss
GM7 A7
Blue filter lens, a smear of vaseline
D Bm7
But all the rushes look the same
G D Bm7 Em
Only there's a mo-vie, I wouldn't pay to see again aye

If it's the one, if it's the one with him in
