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

Mary Ann wasn't fitting in with his lies

Learned more from a fool than she learned from the wise
