Song Title:
“Nine Lives Under the Neon Lights”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Drifting through the [Em] city lights, [C] living on a [D] knife-edge,
[G] Chasing shadows in the [Em] alleyways, [C] and on life’s [D] ledge,
In the [Em] heart of the city, [C] lives a soul so [G] gritty,
[D] Searching for solace, [Em] seeking out [D] pity.

(Chorus)
[G] Nine lives under the neon lights,
We’re [Em] chasing dreams in the dead of night,
Like a [C] feline wish on a star so bright,
[D] Love, loss, and life in the city’s blight.

(Verse 2)
[G] Whisky bars and [Em] broken hearts, [C] tales of love [D] gone astray,
[G] Streetlights flicker, [Em] dreams grow thicker, [C] in the city’s [D] play.
In the [Em] urban jungle, [C] emotions [G] mingle, and [D] tangle,
[D] The city’s song is a [Em] beautiful [D] jangle.

(Chorus)
[G] Nine lives under the neon lights,
We’re [Em] chasing dreams in the dead of night,
Like a [C] feline wish on a star so bright,
[D] Love, loss, and life in the city’s blight.

(Bridge)
[G] Stray cats on the [Em] prowl, [C] shooting stars on the [D] scowl,
[G] Life is a game, [Em] and the city’s on the [D] howl.

(Chorus)
[G] Nine lives under the neon lights,
We’re [Em] chasing dreams in the dead of night,
Like a [C] feline wish on a star so bright,
[D] Love, loss, and life in the city’s blight.

(Outro)
[G] Under the neon lights, [Em] we live these nine lives,
[C] Feline wish, [D] in this city we thrive.
