  -5     7    6    -5 6 -6   6   -5  5  5 
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car 
3    6    6   6   6   6  6   6  -5 7    6
He joins the lov-ers in his hea-vy ma-chine 
 -5  7   6    -5  6  -6   6   -5  5  5
It's a scene down on Sun-set Boul-e-vard

John-ny's tak-in' care of things for a while

And his style is so right for trou-ba-dours 
  6   6   6    6   6    6  -5  7   6
They got him with his back to the door 
-5  7    6   -5  6  -6   6  -5 5  5
And he won't be my fast gun an-y-more 

-6   -6  -6  6   6  -5  -5
Say good-bye to Hol-ly-wood

So man-y fac-es in and out of my life 
 -5    7   6
Some will last

Some will just be now and then 
  3  6  6  6   6  6   6   6  -5    7   6
Life is a ser-ies of hel-los and good-byes
