The Kinks

Tom: C

Intro: F   G  F   G

Am                                              G  
Time's running out just as fast as it can She's leaving me cold I don't understand 
Am                                                 G                             C
Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor Gotta kill this pain 'cause I can't take no more
G                  Dm                G                    C
Bright Lights on a cold night  If it feels good then it's alright 
Am                                         G
Thinking about when we first met All these memories kill me get them out of my head 
    Am                                         G
The flashing lights of the cities roar Make my mind a blurr Who's knocking on the door? 
Am                                         G                         C
Nothing's for keeps Can't get no sleep! My future is late Guess I'll find it next week 

G                  Dm                G                    C
Bright Lights on a cold night  If it feels good then it's alright 
          G               Dm           
And she's up there in the spotlight 
F                           G
See her there in a New York fashion show 
F
See the freedom in her eyes Could've chose a better time 
       G                G               
For it all to go wrong 

Solo      Am G x 2

Am                                         G
Another night and my life is my own But it scares me half to death 
       Am                                        G
I turn on the Tv, I see her favourite shows oh I can't get her out off my head
Am                                                  G
Out in the bars in the village with friends You can buy me a drink 
                 C
But please don't mention her name 
G                  Dm                G                    C
Bright Lights on a cold night  If it feels good then it's allright 
     G               Dm                   G             C
Shes up there in the spot-light  Now it's over and it's goodnight 

G         Dm     G          C      G         Dm
Bright Lights,   Bright Lights,    Bright lights
F                           G
See her there in a New York fashion show 

F                                                               G                G
See the freedom in her eyes Could've chose a better time For it all to go wrong
