- Morten Harket  (Håvard Rem/Morten Harket)


    Intro:  |D|Hm|F#m|A| x2


   D                    Hm              F#m          A
    All you folks back home I'll never tell you this
   D                        Hm                A
    You're not supposed to know where your daughter is
               G          A                 Hm
    There are ways of life you never understood
                G      A            D
    It's right here downtown Hollywood
             G                      A
    It's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
                               Hm
    I've got a stolen moment trying hard
        A                G
    To write a kind of Christmas card


               D  Hm  F#m          A
            But I am bruning out again
              D  Hm           F#m           A
            Tonight there is fever in my veins


    Mama, dear, all the love you gave
    I guess there's really nothing, nothing much to save
    This place is as dirty as I feel myself
    There are still some riches at the Roosevelt
    That evening prayer, those memories
    In my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
    That's where I'm at down in Los Angeles

            And I am burning out again
            And I must rise above the shame
            Tonight there is fever in my veins


        Instrumental: |G-A|Hm|Gmaj-A|Gmaj-

        A                                Hm
        Just think of the girl I used to be
        A         Gmaj             A            D
        You were my age once, mama, twenty-three
        A                              G
        I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
        A                            Hm
        From that summer of love in '68
             A                    Gmaj
        Seems it's turned into a winter of hate


            And I am bruning out again
            And I must rise above the pain
            Tonight there is fever in my veins
            Tonight there is fever in my veins, yeah
  
            Summer of love
            Winter of hate
