INTRO: A
A E
Taking a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin'
A
Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
D
They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5
A E A
Yeah I find it amazing these rats I've been chasing are helping me remember a time
D A
When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
E A
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
D A D
Now its so complicated, I really hate it, why'd I ever want to go so far
A
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
E A
Acting like I'm playing the part
All this gripping and grinning, losing and winning, and running
Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt
What the hell was I thinking, drinking 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
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
E A
Acting like I'm playing the part
