Em                      D
You been hanging under neon lights
C                           D
You've been kicking it with all my friends
Em                     D
I don't know how you sleep at night
C                            D
But, baby girl, you know it never made sense
Em
I was sipping something strong when I saw you
C                                   D
Now every time I see a seven wanna call you
Em                D                     C
I just wish this town would close that red door

Chorus:
                           Em       C
'Cause we were under them Broadway lights
                G      D
When I thought you and I
              Em
Would stay together
        C
Last forever
   G              D
Until the end of time
                     Em       C
I used to love them beat-up floors
                 G        D
'Til you walked out that door
     C                          D
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
                           Em D C
So I don't go downtown anymore
               D           Em D C
So I don't go downtown anymore

So now I give my time to this six-string
Hoping maybe it could set me free
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
You find me in the cut of Tennessee
'Cause every time I think it's over,
it's not over yet
I ain't even found a little bit of closure yet
My buddy's callin', askin' if I'm finally over it
But I just can't

Chorus:
Get over them Broadway lights
When I thought you and I
Would stay together, last forever
Until the end of time
I used to love them beat-up floors
'Til you walked out that door
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
So I don't go downtown anymore

            C
If I could get rid of every damn memory
          Em                       G
Burn the book with the chapter of you and me
             C
It wouldn't be so hard
In the neon dark
           D
Trying to fight
What might have got the best of me

Chorus:
Under them Broadway lights
Where I thought you and I
Would stay together, last forever
Until the end of time
I loved them beat-up floors
'Til you walked out that door
Can't give you up, but
I know one thing is for sure
I'd be torn up if I saw you, baby
So I don't go downtown anymore

(If I could get rid of every damn memory)
(Burn the book with the chapter of you and me)
(It wouldn't be so hard in the neon dark)
(Tryna fight what mighta got the best of me)
