Eb                       Db/F 
Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom 
    Gb                   Db                 Eb 
Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon 
Eb                     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                  Bb                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          Ab/Gb           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          Cm                  Bb                Ebsus4   Eb

A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie
