Well, you were happy where you were
          A                   E
But that girl she wheeled you in
               C#m             G#m
This time was never good enough
                A              E
'Cause she was gonna see everything

            E
And if you ever spoke of love
           A                 E
She just smiled and put you down
                C#m          G#m
'Cause she was making other plans
            A                  B
She had a vision of light and sound


              E                      A    E   B
She said the neon on the river will light my way
         E                                        A      C#m       B
And everything that we've been dreaming of we'll make it real one day
              C#m
So save your money pack your bags
           A              B
We better run before we disappear
              E                       A      E     B
She took the train into the city but you're still here


            E
You hear a song that takes you back

         A             E
To some long forgotten night
                C#m                    G#m
And friends who said they had your back
               A                         E
But they just turned around and let you fight

            E
And on the bowling alley wall
          A                 E
You used all your smartest lines
                   C#m           G#m
But they've been painted over now
                   A               B
Looks like you're gonna get left behind


              E                      A    E   B
She said the neon on the river will light my way
             E                                  A     C#m       B
And all the things that we've been dreaming of making real one day
              C#m
So save your money, pack your bags
         A                        B
I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
              E                       A    E    B
She took the train into the city but you stood still


     C#m                   E
You stood still about the train
                 B
You knew as you watched her go
                      A
That she was never coming back
     C#m                      E
You start to places that you know
                 B
You said you're scared of heights
                          A
And that you didn't want to go
                E
Where everyone else goes


              E                      A    E   B
She said the neon on the river will light my way

         E                                  A     C#m       B
And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
              C#m
So save your money pack your bags
           A              B
We better run before we disappear
              E                       A      E     B
