B                G#m7
You're asking me why the stars never
 C#m           F#
shine here in LA
B             G#m7            C#m     F#
If I knew somehow, I wouldn't tell no one
B             G#m7                C#m         F#
I give you my heart, and I try to please everyone
B                        G#m7
But you were caught in a lie,
                C#m      F#
now it's time I find someone

Chorus:
          B        G#m7
I need a lover to right my wrongs
         C#m         F#
I need a new love to sing my songs
          B        G#m7             C#m         F#
I need a lover to bring me back to when I was young

B
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
   G#m7
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
   C#m
Ah-ooh-ah, ah-ooh-ah
   F#
Ah-ooh

You're asking me why the stars never shine here
in LA
I answer to you the way that I do every day
With a little smile, there's no need to say anything
I've gotta leave you alone 'cause this ain't
the life that is meant for me

Chorus:
I need a lover to right my wrongs
I need a new love to sing my songs
I need a lover to bring me back to when I was young
I need a long drive up and down the coast
It's the freedom that I want most 'cause
Sometimes I have to let go,
and get back to when I was young

E F#        E   F# E          F#
When I was young, ooh, ooh, ooh
            B     B7
When I was young
E            F#
(Sometimes I have to let go)
E            F#
(Sometimes I have to let go)
E            F#
(Sometimes I have to let go)
            B   B7
When I was young
