Verse:
Em              D                    G      C
Dollar bill prescriptions in the bathroom stall
Em           D       G     C
Red headed women and alcohol
Em           D              G        C
Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call
Em                D         G   C
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
Em                D         G   C
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall


Chorus:
Em        D                   G   C    D
We're no different from the neon lights
Em                      D       G   C  D
When you turn us on we stay up all night
Em                D         G   C   D
We do what we can We put up a fight
Em                D         G   C    D
When we burn too long we flicker and die

Verse:
Em (Muted single strike)                      C
Its night like these that the drugs don't work
Em                D         G   C
They just get in the way instead of pickin' me up
Em                D         G   C
I wish my addictions didn't mean so much
Em                D         G   C
But we all can't be born with that kind of luck
Em                D         G   C
You can try but you won't fix what's wrong with me.
Em                D         G   C
Every night I'm my own worst enemey.
Em                D         G   C
I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
Em                D         G   C
Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free
Em                D         G   C
No you can't turn down the drinks when they're free


Chorus:
Em        D                   G   C
We're no different from the neon lights
Em                      D       G   C
When you turn us on we stay up all night
Em                D         G   C
We do what we can We put up a fight
Em                D         G   C
When we burn too long we flicker and die


Verse:
Em        D                   G   C
Every girl in that bar looked like 1965
Em        D                   G   C
With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes
Em        D                   G   C
Every now and then she still crosses my mind
Em        D                   G   C
And by every now and then I mean most of the time
Em        D                   G   C
By every now and then I mean all of the time


Chorus:
Em        D                   G   C
We're no different from the neon lights
Em                      D       G   C
When you turn us on we stay up all night
Em                D         G   C
We do what we can We put up a fight
Em                D         G   C
When we burn too long we flicker and die

Em        D                   G   C
We're no different from the neon lights
Em                      D       G   C
When you turn us on we stay up all night
Em                D         G   C
We do what we can We put up a fight
Em                D         G   C
When we burn too long we flicker and die
Em                D         G   C
When we burn too long we flicker and die
