E
Well, you were happy where you were
AE
But that girl she wheeled you in
C#mG#m
This time was never good enough
AE
'Cause she was gonna see everything
--------------------
E
And if you ever spoke of love
AE
She just smiled and put you down
C#mG#m
'Cause she was making other plans
AB
She had a vision of light and sound
--------------------
EAEB
She said the neon on the river will light my way
EAC#mB
And everything that we've been dreaming of we'll make it real one day
C#m
So save your money pack your bags
AB
We better run before we disappear
EAEB
She took the train into the city but you're still here
--------------------
E
You hear a song that takes you back
AE
To some long forgotten night
C#mG#m
And friends who said they had your back
AE
But they just turned around and let you fight
--------------------
E
And on the bowling alley wall
AE
You used all your smartest lines
C#mG#m
But they've been painted over now
AB
Looks like you're gonna get left behind
--------------------
EAEB
She said the neon on the river will light my way
EAC#mB
And all the things that we've been dreaming of making real one day
C#m
So save your money, pack your bags
AB
I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
EAEB
She took the train into the city but you stood still
--------------------
C#mE
You stood still about the train
B
You knew as you watched her go
A
That she was never coming back
C#mE
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
--------------------
EAEB
She said the neon on the river will light my way
EAC#mB
And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
C#m
So save your money pack your bags
AB
We better run before we disappear
EAEB
She took the train into the city but you're still here

She took the train into the city but you're still here
