I'll never tell you this
D                          Bm

        A
where your daughter is


[Pre-Chorus]
      G                   
There are ways of life
A                Bm
  you never understood
A            G    A             D    
  it's right here downtown Hollywood
A             G                     A
  it's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
                         Bm
I've got a stolen moment trying hard
        A             G
to write  a kind of a kind of Christmascard


[Chorus]
    D Bm   F#m            A
But I---am burning out again
   D Bm             F#m          A
Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

Mama dear
        F#m           A
all the love you gave
D                          Bm
  I guess there's really nothing
        A
nothing much to save


[Pre-Chorus]
G
  I see this place
A                     Bm
  It is as dirty as I feel myself
A                     G       A               D  
  There are still some riches - at the Roosevelt
A                G
  That evening prayer those memories
A                         Bm
  in my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
A                           G        
That's where i'm at down in Los Angeles


[Chorus]
    D Bm   F#m            A
And I---am burning out again
    D Bm     F#m               A
And I---must rise above the shame

Or,   just think of the girl I used to be
A          G                A            D
  You were my age once mama   Twentythree
A                               G
   I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
A                            Bm
  From that summer of love in 68
         A                  G
It seems it's turned into a a winter of hate

Toni---ght there'll be fever in my veins
