(VERSE 1)
D[C]own at the neon angel beneath the flashing s[F]tar
A rag tag co[C]ngregation is g[D]athered at the b[G]ar
S[C]earching for salvation for just an hour or t[F]wo
While a jukebox in the c[C]orner p[G]lays the b[C]lues
(CHORUS)
I[C]t's midnight communion down on s[F]econd a[C]venue
They take to wine till closing time a f[D]ellowship of f[G]ools
C[C]onfessions heard forgiveness given from twelve o clock till t[F]wo
It's midnight c[C]ommunion down on s[G]econd a[C]venue
F, C, G, C
(VERSE 2)
T[C]here's no fallen angel who's lost the will to f[F]ly
But her broken wings s[C]till have their strength [D]to hold you when you c[G]ry
L[C]ord knows it's not the best place to lay my burdens d[F]own
But someone's always g[C]ood for o[G]ne more r[C]ound
