Lianne finger-picks the chords everywhere.
You could give it a go or strum if you prefer.
You could certainly strum the pre-choruses and choruses.


INTRO:

VERSE1:
Notes:
The INTRO Figure is the basis for the verses.
I've shown the chords here, too, in case you wanted to strum.

Chords:
Bm7   x 14 12 14 xx
F#m7  x979xx
Em7   x757xx


| Bm7        | F#m7         | Em7             | Em7  F#m7
    I am neon,     cold neon,    Not a mystery

| Bm7                    | F#m7                | Em7              | % | F#m7
    All I've ever known is      how to be alone,    it comes naturally



PRE-CHORUS:
Notes:
Lianne plays the Em7 at the 12th fret (something like I indicate below).
But a standard fretting at the 7th fret works well.

Chords:
Em7  12 14 12 12 12 12 or x79787 (if strumming)
F#7  9989xx


| Em7
     Oh, baby, can I hold you on such a cold, cold night

     I thought I wouldn't need to, I've got my neon lights

     I'm longing just to feel you to know that it's alright

| Em7                     F#7
     Oh baby, baby, baby, baby



CHORUS:
Notes:
Strum or finger-pick as per intro.

Chords:
Bm7   x 14 12 14 xx
F#m7  x979xx
Em7   x757xx


| Bm7        | F#m7            | Em7  | %     | F#m7
    I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, alone in Tokyo

| Bm7           | F#m7                    | Em7  | %     | F#m7  | Bm7
    You're out of reach, wrong place, wrong time, alone in Tokyo



VERSE2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

Chords:
Bm7   x 14 12 14 xx
F#m7  x979xx
Em7   x757xx


| Bm7              | F#m7               | Em7             | F#m7
    Here I go again,    to and fro again,   overnight delivery

| Bm7                  | F#m7 
    Grew a thicker skin,    but now it's wearing thin,

| Em7                    | F#m7
    You can see right into me


[repeat PRE-CHORUS]

[repeat CHORUS]  [x2]


[SOLO / INTERLUDE to fade with ad libbed lyrics]

"I'm out of sight*

"I'm out of mind"

"You're out of reach"

"Wrong place, wrong time"
