[Verse]

F#m         A                  D                              F#m
Sometimes I feel like giving up, like the whole world's against me
A          D
Carpe diem
F#m              A            D                                F#m
You may not see another sunset, too busy try'na make your name
A                D
This ain't the end
F#m         A             D
Living in a heart of stone (woah!)
F#m              A               D
Reaching for the stars with your hands tied
F#m                   A          D
You work your fingers to the bone (woah!)
F#m                  A                       D
You better make your move while there's still time


[Chorus]

       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                 D
I don't wanna be alone
       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                     D
I can't make it on my own


[Verse 2]

F#m        A                  D                    F#m
Somebody's always pushing past to get ahead in the rat race
A               D
Straight to the top
F#m                A           D                            F#m
It's hard to see a happy ending when I swim against the tide
    A          D
But this is my shot


[Chorus 2]

       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                 D
I don't wanna be alone
       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                     D
I can't make it on my own


[Bridge]

D                      E
What am I doing, don't know what to say
A                         D
Running in circles, I'm a mess everyday
D                         E
Cycles repeating (woah!), can't find my stop
A                             D
Endless and pointless, will I make it or not?


[Solo]

[Chorus 3]

       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                 D
I don't wanna be alone
       D           E
Bright lights, big city
A                     D
I can't make it on my own
