Standard (EADGBE)

All you folks back home

I'll never tell you this

you're not supposed to know

where your daughter is

there are ways of life

 you never understood

it's right here downtown Hollywood

it's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard

I´ve got a stolen moment trying hard

to write a kind

a kind of Christmascard

Chorus

But I---am burning out again

Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

Mama dear all the love you gave

I guess there´s really nothing

nothing much to save

I see this place

It is dirty as I feel myself

There are still som riches at the Roosevelt

That evening prayer those memorise in my little bedroom,

mama, on my knees

That´s i´m at down in Los Angeles

Chorus

And I---am burning out again

And I---must rise above the shame

Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

Or just think of the girl I used to be

You were my age once mama

Twentythree

I can still hear some of the songs you used to play

From that summer of love in ´68

It seems it turned into a a winter of hate

Chorus

And I---am burning out again

It´s time i´d rise above the pain

Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

Toni---ght there is fever in my veins
