(ver. 1)
Thomas Dolby
D
Bm A Em Em/D  |  A7 x2

[Verse]
Emaj7         F#6          G#m /F# /G#       B      /C# /D#
       Miller time at the bar where all the English meet
Emaj7         F#6          G#m   /F# /G#          B                     /C# /D#
She used to   drink in the hills             Only now she drinks in the valleys
Emaj7         F#6       G#m    /F# /G#       B          /C# /D#
  Where every road has a name like Beachwood Avenue  Or so it seems
  Emaj7       F#6    G6
       A Croydon gi-rl
G/A  Em7                         Bm7
     could really hope to find a home
             Em7                            A7         Bm7
But with a thousand miles of real estate to choose from
       Em7                            A6
You begin to see the value of your freedom
Emaj7         F#6            G#m              B      /C# /D#
   The moon is bright in the haze above old Hollywood
Emaj7         F#6                   G#m               B                /C# /D#
     And     deer look down from the hills  And it's three o'clock in the morning
Emaj7         F#6          G#m               B      /C# /D#
     Pill in hand you can hear his golden surfer boys
Emaj7         F#6   G6
Crying out,
G/A
mommy  won't come out of the bathroom
Bm7              Em7                           A
     And you'd hoped he'd say he's sorry if he hit you
Bm7             Em7                            A6
      But he's buried in the screenplay of his feature

[Chorus]
Bm7                Em7
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
G/A
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Bm7                Em7
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
 G/A
Blue filter lens, in a pool of Vaseline
     D                Bm/D
But all the rushes look the same
       G/D                      D                 Bm   Bm7
Only there's a movie I wouldn't pay to see again
Em7                       G/A     Amaj7
   If it's the one with him in

Emaj7         F#6            G#m   /F# /G#       B      /C# /D#
        You and I could be a mile above the   earth tremors
Emaj7         F#6            G#m   /F# /G#               B      /C# /D#
       Hold to me and we'll climb           You could sneak out while he's sleeping
Emaj7      F#6         G#m   /F# /G#       B      /C# /D#
       Suicide in the hills above      old Hollywood

Emaj7            F#6            G
Is never going to change the world
 G/A                Bm7
Change the world overnight
     Em7        /D                   G/A             Bm7
Any more than the invention of the six-gun, child
      Em7       /D                  A7        Bm7
Any more than the discovery of radium
     Em7                         A6       /G
Or California tipping in the ocean

Bm7                Em7     /D
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
G/A             /G       /A            /G
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Bm7     /A           Em7        /D
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
 G/A        /G           /A              /G
Blue filter lens, in a pool of Vaseline
     D                Bm/D
But all the rushes look the same
       G/D                      D                 Bm   Bm7/A
Only there's a movie I wouldn't pay to see again
Em7                       G/A
   If it's the one
Em7           A7
    with him in

Bm
