G
I was looking for a change of scene
F
You were looking at a magazine
C
It was red carpets and limousines
           G
And the grass seemed so much greener
G
All we wanted was to get there fast
       F
So we packed up everything we had
 C
Running on hope and a tank of gas
       G
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers

F                    Em
We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind
Am                                C
Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign

Chorus:
                 G
And one of those L.A. nights
           D
When the stars come out
          C                   G
Oh, the stars come out, and shine
          G
And they burn so bright
                D
They drown the downtown lights
           C
When the stars come out
               G
Oh, when the stars come out

Everybody's somebody, someday
Everybody's got a part to play
Everybody's tryin' to find a way
To say what needs sayin'
Everybody's got a friend of a friend
Somebody that can get you in
Beggin' angels for a sin
In a game that we're all playin'

You and I, we're gamblers holdin'
cards that we can't see
And I'm bettin' on you, and you're bettin' on me

Chorus:
One of those L.A. nights
When the stars come out
Oh, the stars come out
And shine
And they burn so bright
They drown the downtown lights
When the stars come out
Oh, when the stars come out

F                        Em
Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight
Am                     C
And I got a feeling tonight might be the night
         C
Yeah, tonight might be the night

Chorus:
One of those L.A. nights
When the stars come out
Oh, the stars come out
And shine
And they burn so bright
They drown the downtown lights
When the stars come out
Oh, when the stars come out

When the stars come out, ohh
When the stars come out
