F               C
All I see is imitation

                        F
And there's no earth beneath my feet.

                                C
There are no trees or fields in front of me

              F
Only slabs of concrete.

F7                   Bb
Skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds,

                                F
Don't give the moon a chance to shine,

                       C
And I've got imitation moonlight

Bb*                          F    (riff)
Standing underneath the neon sign.

F*                  C
Is it real or just illusion?

                    F
Can there be a time when it's night?

                  C
Is it merely my delusion

             F
Or my senses telling me lies.

F7                Bb
Is it just hallucination?

                     F
Have I been drinking too much wine?

                            C
I don't know if it's day or night,

         Dm                  G7
When I'm underneath the neon sign.

Dm                  F
Underneath the neon sign.

F G Ab A                 Dm               F
       Electronic nature made by man with robots in mind.

F G Ab A               Dm           Bb                       F
       Big city lights guide my way into the night, darkness shines

         C                            F  (riff)
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign.

                   C
If there isn't any sunshine

                      F
We'll some-day buy the neon sign

                        C
And if we can't see any stars at night

                        F
We'll sit and watch the traffic lights.

                   Bb
If there isn't any day-time

               F
I've got an imitation dawn,

                    C
I've got a simulated sunshine

                             F
Standing underneath the neon sign.

         Bb
Is it an illusion?

                     F
Have I been drinking too much wine?

                                C
Can there be day-time when it's night

Dm                  G7
Underneath the neon sign.

Dm                  F
Underneath the neon sign.

F G Ab A
       Is it mother nature

Dm                     Bb
Playing tricks with my eyes

             F
For darkness shines

         C                            F
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign.
