A                D               E                A
Some of them are new in town and some of them you know"

I do my best to sing along but I don't know what they're saying

I'm headed down to San Antone, runnin' with the night
[Chorus]

  I've never been no daytime guy

E             A
Love the neon light

I'm a saxophone, a flash of chrome

Runnin' with the night

I went out west to make the best of my lowdown situation

Moved in with my sister you know she works every day

A                 D                E                    A
We don't see each other much and I guess it's just that way
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy

E             A
Love the neon light

     D                F#m
I'm a swingin' door, a meteor

Runnin' with the night

  I've settled down a time or two and tried the other way

      A          F#m        C#m             D
But I don't know what to do with myself all day

A                     D                 F#m                 E
The sun goes down you give you love one last long goodnight kiss

         A          D              E              A
Then you stay awake thinkin' 'bout everything you miss

  I've never been no daytime guy

Love the neon light

Runnin' with the night

A                   D               F#m            E
  I was born in the wintertime underneath a purple sky

A                     F#m             C#m                 D
I packed my things at seventeen and I kissed my folks goodbye

A                  D             F#m            E
Got no complaints, no regrets, I got no grand design

A                        D
I'll ride the horse that brought me here

       E                 A
Till I cross that finish line
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy

E             A
Love the neon light

     D            F#m
I'm a amber eye, a coyote's cry

E                 A
Runnin' with the night

     D               F#m
I'm a wall of fire, a angel choir

E                A  D  F#m E
Runnin' with the night

         A  D  F#m E
With the night

         A  D  F#m E
With the night

         A  D  E   A
With the night
