Em         G          D              G
Get out of Hollywood  drive into the hills 
Em            G                 D               C
Roll down the top and then just throw away your pills 

Em            G            D               G
You’ll never forget her so why do you even try 
Em              G             D                C
Things will get easier as the days go creaking by 

       F        C        F               C              :
Broke my heart, I saw it coming from the start          :
F                C                 G   (Riff 1)         :
I really hate to see the shape I’m in                   : [ Refrão ]
F             C      F            C                     :
Broke all the rules and you know life can be cruel but  :
F            C                 G                        :
I think it’s time I learned to swim                     :

Show me there still can be some mystery 
I haven’t found 
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea 
Don’t let me drown 

And if I had my way I tell you what I’d do 
I’d drive down to the lake before the sky gets blue 
Fill up my bottle from water from the spring 
'Cause I read somewhere that it cures everything 

[ Refrão ]

Show me there still can be some mystery 
I haven’t found 
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea 
Don’t let me drown 

[ Refrão ]

Show me there still can be some mystery….. 
Show me a way out of this misery…..
