D G Em
Ooh, instead of watchin' this bottle that was filled up
Bm
Just disappear
[Chorus]
D G
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
Em Bm
Up there hangin' from behind the bar
D G
Hopin' there's a u-turn in your car
Em Bm
Don't know why I do 'cause it never comes true
D G
Hey baby, what's it gonna take

D G Em
And ooh, I know I probably oughta throw a couple prayers up

Ooh, instead of lettin' this heart stay beat down

Pullin' up this chair
[Chorus]
