Took A Lot Of Pills Died

[A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [E] [A]

With her [A]drop-dead looks and her l[D]ittle-girl charm
[A]Everybody thought she'd go [E]far
And at [A]20 years old she was r[D]ich as could be
And a w[A]orld-famed Ho[E]llywood st[A]ar.
With the big parts coming and the s[D]weethearts, too,
[A]Life was a hell of a r[E]ide
But her s[A]tar soon fell and her b[D]ody got old
So she t[A]ook a lot of pi[E]lls and di[A]ed.

She t[A]ook a lot of [D]pills and [A]died
She [A]took a lot of [D]pills and [A]died
her s[A]tar soon fell and her b[D]ody got old
So she t[A]ook a lot of pi[E]lls and di[A]ed.

While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
She was sitting in her kitchenette
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
And staring at her TV set.
She once might have been too proud to be found
in a hovel on the lower East Side
But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now
So she took a lot of pills and died.

Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen
And she never may be again
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
You can see her how she was back then.
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit,
She seemed to glow inside
Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on
She took a lot of pills and died.
