Neon Lights chords by Walker Hayes

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: D

Verse 1:
    Em
New lipstick on that highball glass
A
Sitting right next to mine
      D
Yeah, she don't know that my eyes are sad
            Bm
'Cause that Bud Light sign
                   Em
Don't shine on the truth, baby
     A
It's camouflaging my broken heart
       D
I miss you like crazy

Chorus:
                               Em              A
Said, "Baby, maybe that's what neon lights are for"
                         D                  Bm
So lonely people slide inside them dive-bar doors
                      Em
Let the blue hide the blues
                   A
Red rose color the pain
                     D
Tears and beers go together
                         Bm
Kinda like crying in the rain
        Em
I got a drunk smile in the purple smoke
      A
Yeah, she can't tell my heart's broke
   D                                 Bm
Pretending while we spinning on this floor
                        Em
Just drinking thinking, baby
                  A               D
Maybe that's what neon lights are for


Verse 2:
           Em
Yeah, I've had too much to think
  A
I drink her name is Kristy
     D
That roll and rock green light
                Bm
Even makes that cigarette smoke look pretty
        Em
Where a three looks like a seven
      A
And a ten looks like an eight
     D
They might go home together
           Bm
Girl, just wait


Chorus:
                               Em              A
Said, "Baby, maybe that's what neon lights are for"
                         D                  Bm
So lonely people slide inside them dive-bar doors
                      Em
Let the blue hide the blues
                   A
Red rose color the pain
                     D
Tears and beers go together
                         Bm
Kinda like crying in the rain
        Em
I got a drunk smile in the purple smoke
      A
Yeah, she can't tell my heart's broke
   D                                 Bm
Pretending while we spinning on this floor
                        Em
Just drinking thinking, baby
                  A               D
Maybe that's what neon lights are for


Instrumental Break:

Out-Chorus:
        Em
I got a drunk smile in the purple smoke
      A
Yeah, she can't tell my heart's broke
   D                                 Bm
Pretending while we spinning on this floor
                        Em
Just drinking thinking, baby
                  A               D    Bm
Maybe that's what neon lights are for
                         Em
Yeah, I'm just thinking, baby
                  A                    Em  D
Maybe that's what neon lights are for
