Sure, I came out here to make [Db] my name, wanted my pool, my [Eb] dose of fame, wanted my parking [Ab] space at Warner's.
[C] [Fm]
But after a year, a [Db] one-room hell, a Murphy bed, [Eb] a rancid smell, wallpaper [Bb] peeling at [Fm] the corners.
Sunset [Eb] Boulevard, twisting [Dm] boulevard, [Db] secretive and rich, a [Fm] little scary.
Sunset [Eb] Boulevard, tempting [Bb] boulevard, waiting [Db] there to swallow [Fm] the unwary.
Dreams are not enough [Db] to win a war, out here they're [Eb] always keeping score, beneath the tam the [E] battle [Ab] rages.

Far as they could go, [Db] end of the line, their dreams were yours, their [Eb] dreams were mine, but in those dreams [Db] were hidden [Fm] dragons.
Sunset [Eb] Boulevard, frenzy [Bb] boulevard, [Bbm]
[Fm] motion.
Sunset Boulevard, [Eb] fruitful boulevard, [Bb] just [Bbm] like you will wind up [Fm] in the ocean.
[Gbm] She was sinking fast, [D] I threw a rope, now I have suits and [E] she has hope, it seems an elegant [A] solution.
[Db] [Gbm] One day this misdemeanor [D] isn't real, still I'll enjoy [E] a hearty meal before [Ab] tomorrow's [Gbm] execution.
