Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G

When the sun goes down on my side of town

C

That lonesome feeling comes to my door

G D

And the whole world turns blue

G

There’s a rundown bar across the railroad tracks

C

I got a table for two way in the back

G D

Where I sit alone and think of losing you

Chorus

G C

I spend most every night beneath the light of a neon moon

G

If you lose your one and only

D G

There’s always room here for the lonely

C

To watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams

G D G

Of a neon moon

Verse 2

G

I think of two young lovers running wild and free

C

I close my eyes and sometimes see

G D

You in the shadows of this smoky room

G

No tellin’ how many tears I’ve sat here and cried

C

Or how many lies that I’ve lied

G D

Tellin’ my poor heart she’ll come back someday

Chorus

G C

I spend most every night beneath the light of a neon moon

G

If you lose your one and only

D G

There’s always room here for the lonely

C

To watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams

G D G

Of a neon moon

Verse 3

G

Jukebox plays on, drink by drink

C

And the words of every sad song seem to say

G D

What I feel right now

G

This hurt inside of me ain’t never gonna end

C

Oh, but I remember when

G D

You were mine down by the waterfall

Chorus

G C

I spend most every night beneath the light of a neon moon

G

If you lose your one and only

D G

There’s always room here for the lonely

C

To watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams

G D

Of a neon moon

G C G DG

Oh, a neon moon
