Intro:  C   F   C    F

Verse 1:
C                          F
You're afraid to lose your cover
 C                  F
Afraid to bare your soul
C                        F
Like an Alfred Hitchcock lover
C                         F
Who slowly goes out of control

Chorus:
G                     F
Your love is like the city
G              F
Only shines at night
G                F
Your love has no pity
G                F      C      F   C   F
Baby baby that's all....right

Verse 2:
Your vanity is your castle
You're like a neon sign
And the poor lost souls in your shadows
You forget, they are friends of mine.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Little Johnny Vain lost his head
While you broke a young girls heart.
And Cecil D. Demille once gave to you
The 'Cast of Millions' part.

Chorus
