We watched the sunset

Light up the wild west

And I felt his heart as it rained
  G                       Em
I felt the attraction but he seemed distracted
    C                     G
And he never mentioned her name

Pre-chorus 2
G                Em
I should have known

To have left them alone

 Through the neon

Just like I'm lost to the fling
