Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the memory remains.

( G G/B E5 )

E5
Heavy rings on fingers wave, another star denies the grave.
        G                                   G/B
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor.
Like twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole.
                                 G     G/B    E5
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna.
D5       E5    D5     E5    D5   E5     D5
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
D5       E5    D5     E5    D5   E5              F5
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the memory remains.

E5
Heavy rings hold cigarettes up to lips that time forgets.
        G                                   G/B
While the Hollywood sun sets, behind your back.
And can't the band play on, just listen, they play my song.

Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
D5       E5    D5     E5    D5   E5     D5
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
D5       E5    D5     E5    D5   E5     D5
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.

Drift  away, fade away, little tin goddess.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
