Tom : C
Intro: C G F C G F Am G F ( G ) C
Whoaaaaa
C
He couldn't keep you safe if he tried
Am
But when he let you see in his liquid eyes
G F
It became a crime, take him away
C
Doesn't know how to love
Doesn't know how to win
Am
He only knows he can't be taken in
G F
But he's on the road, he's living in sin
Am G F Em G F
Just as it seems, he's another James Dean
C G F
Staying up, he's restless through the night
C G F
While Santa Monica signs are fading
Am G F
He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
C G F C G F Am
Another Hollywood hero's baby
C
You wouldn't like him if he stayed
A hero's dying every day
C
Mary Ann wasn't fitting in with his lies
Am
Learned more from a fool than she learned from the wise
G F
Crying out to the skies "take him away"
C
He's been given the hands to destroy the world
Am
He's been given a taste to destroy the girls
G F
Given too many schemes, a threat to be seen
Am G F
Ooooooooh he's another James Dean
[Refrão]
C G F
Staying up, he's restless through the night

Another Hollywood hero's baby

Riding strong it feels like he belongs
G F
While Santa Monica's dreams are sleeping

Hush now he'll always carry on
He's a Hollywood hero's baby
