F#m                         D               A
She turned the key and she put the car in drive
F#m                D             A
From the window I watched her disappear from my life
F#m                D               A
Said this town is dead but she's alive
F#m              D             A
Gonna take her chances in the big city lights

D                 A E        F#m
I'm on the outside   here tonight
D                      A          E
You're turning left because you know it's not right

Chorus:
F#m           D    A
She wants to be a movie star
F#m            D         A
Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car
F#m              D  A
She's been gone so long in the dark
F#m         D            A
She don't know what she wants

She's leaving on an jet plane in the night
Pulls up the shades ten thousand miles in the sky
She's hanging with the stars and wondering why
They're so high up but yet she's falling inside

With every scene maybe there's a price
You can sell it all but you can't buy back the time

Chorus

F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m         D            A
She don't know what she wants

A
It's so quiet there
E
But there's a fire there
D
Out of her control
E
Lying on the fourth floor
A
It's a crying shame
E
She can feel the flame
D
Maybe this love is born
A
One she hasn't felt before

Chorus

F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m      D    A
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m         D            A
She don't know what she wants

No, no, She don't know what she wants
Oh, She don't know what she wants
