Eb Db/F
Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom
Gb Db Eb
Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon
Db/F
Behind the counter she stares out the window
Gb Db Eb
Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon
Ab Gb
She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror
Bbm Fm Eb
Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon
Fm C
For two cents of danger she'd trust anybody
Bbm Eb
She'd smoke like a gun if it meant she might wind up
Ab Cm Db Ebsus4 Eb
In neon the dreams in the light of a promise that dies
Ab/Gb Db/F Ab/Eb Eb
A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie
Ab Cm Db Eb
In neon the name's gone there's no reason why anymore
Ab/Gb Db/F Ab/Eb Eb Ab Db Ab Eb
Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door
Eb Ab Db Ab Eb Ab
In neon, in neon
Pictures and patterns, the touches of glamour
Cut into a fashion that flashes above them in neon
A hot cup of coffee held in her fingers
A perfect complexion that lingers above her in neon
She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror
Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon
For a shot at the title, she'd slip into something
She'd smoulder like ashes if it meant she might wind up in neon
Ab
In neon
