G                                    C 
Jimmy's not a high concept guy 
              G                                         Em 
But he's front page news, let me tell you why 
 D/F#                            G                C 
He's on the cover of the New York Post 
   G                   D     
Every network, coast to coast 
G                                            C 
All he needed was a hot night in June 
G                                                       Em 
'Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon 
D/F#                               G         C 
When he spiked it bit, and man, he flew 
G                    D 
Into America's living room

We all love tragedy, and it loves us too 
D 
It's a marriage made in Hollywood between greed and you 
G 
All you need to be a star is to die in open view, It's a marriage made in Hollywood 
G              C            D 
Between greed and you 
G               C          G 
Between greed and you 

Loved by women, admired by men 
He walked down broadway with his best friend 
His brain was wired like a light in a socket 
With his old friend in his back pocket 
That horse could kick, that horse could scream 
Ride you out of here into a different scene 
Unrequited love, and that makes it fair 
But who keeps score when you're in mid-air? 

{Chorus} 

Like a free-fall chute that didn't open 
He looked down to see his dream was broken 
He stared back up at a hot grey sky 
Re-ran his life and then he died 
Well if you jump off a building, brother beware! 
'Cause my friend Jimmy woke up mid-air 
No time to smile, no time to wave 
They buried him in a media grave 

{Chorus}
