I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
C D
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
D Am
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
C D
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
D (with hammer-on)
D C
They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls
C D
They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
D Am
Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
C D
Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool

Well I never did see so many TV stars

And I never did hear so many bold faced lies

When I was ten years old, I was alive

And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
D Am
Well now I'm right back in my old backyard

And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old

And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told
