Biography:
Ruston Kelly is an American singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. He was married to Kacey Musgraves from 2017 to 2020.

Hollywood by Ruston Kelly
[Verse]
Am
I hate this bar I hate this town
F
I always find you in this crowd.
Am
Whiskey double ginger back
F
Numb me before I crack
Am
The day's been just a losing fight
F
Drunk in Hollywood tonight
[Chorus]
F Am G
You got me in the palm of your hand
F Am G
Maybe I will lose who I am
F C Am
Cause I'm only hanging on by a string
G
You ain't ready to cut me free
F Am G
Got me in the palm of your hand
[Verse]
Am
Baby all your words they kill
F
And I've run out of all these pills
Am
I'm getting thinner getting tired
F
I give an inch and you take a mile
Am
And I can't keep going back and forth
F
Real love ain't no swinging door
[Chorus]
F Am G
You got me in the palm of your hand
F Am G
Maybe I will lose who I am
F C Am
Cause I'm only hanging on by a string
G
You ain't ready to cut me free
F Am G
Got me in the palm of your hand
[Verse]
Am
Shot this plane it's going down
F
I hate this bar I hate this town
