D7              Am
Can I have your autograph?
G
he said to the fat blonde actress
D7                       Am
You know I've seen every movie you've been in
G
from "Paths of Pain" to "Jewels of Glory"
Em            A
And when you kissed Robert Mitchum
C                       A
gee, but I thought you'd never catch him

D#dim     Esus4      Em
Over the hill right now
A                       D  C# C
and you're looking for love
D#dim            Esus4      Em
You're over the hill right now

and you're looking for love

I'll come running to you
                 E
honey, when you want me
D             A
I'll come running to you
                 E
honey, when you want me

"Can I have your autograph?"
He said to the fat blonde actress
"You know, I know everything you've done"
Anyway, I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour but

You're over the hill right now
And you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now
And you're looking for love

Chorus

E                 A/E
Something's got a hold on me
      E7sus2     A/E
and I don't know what
E                     A/E
Oh, something's got a hold on me
      E7sus2      A/E
and I don't know what

D           G            A
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's a new age
It's the beginning of a new age
Oh, oh
