Julie was a girl of modest means

And said never again

Married her a man well past his prime

Forty million dollars and not much time now
C                     D
She's payin' for the perfect crime on

All that's left is a heartache made of gold

He bought her a house in the Hollywood Hills
There were parties and the room was filled with
Stars falling from the usual thrills, yeah

CHORUS

G D Am C

It's a Saturday night again
The same faces come tricklin' in
She's got a lover but he ain't no friend
He's just someone to hold
She feels alone and she steps outside
Stares out at the valley lights
Pours a drink and she starts to cry
She's got it all and she can't get by on

CHORUS

G D Am C
