“Neon Nights”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C D G
Driving through the city, under the fluorescent lights,
Am C D G
Chasing down the dreams that are as elusive as the night.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Neon nights, oh they’re calling, pulling us into the fight,
C G D Em
With hearts on fire, we’re falling, lost in the neon nights.
(Verse 2)
Am C D G
In the backseat of a taxi, we find our Fantastic flight,
Am C D G
Underneath the stars, surrendering to the city’s might.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Neon nights, oh they’re burning, lighting up our souls so bright,
C G D Em
With dreams aflame, we’re yearning, lost in the neon nights.
