INTRO: D Em G

#1.
G                                 C
A bright array of city lights, as far as

I can see.
     D
The 'Great White Way' shines through the night,
   C      D         G  D
on lonely guys like me.
    G                                C
The cabaret's and honky tonks, their flashing

signs and lights.
    D
The broken heart can lose itself in the glow
        G     Gb C D
of city lights.

#2.
D                                    G     D
Lights that say forget her now, in a glass of
       G
sherry wine.
D                                  G     D
Lights that offer other girls, for empty hearts
     G     C    G
like mine..they paint a pretty picture, of a
C
world that's gay and bright.
         D
And it's just a mask for loneliness, behind
           G
those city lights.

    G                                     C
The world was dark, God made the stars to brighten

up the night.
        D
But the God who put those stars above, I don't
  C        D          G     D
believe he made those lights.
     G                                C
It's just a place for me to cry, when things don't

turn out right.
       D
Just a place to run away and hide, behind those
     G     D G
city lights.

#4.
D                           Am7        G
Lights that say, forget her love, in a different

atmosphere.
D                                  G          D
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for
G
tears.
G                                   C
They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't hold

you tight.
      D
And I just can't say that I love you to a street of
     G
city lights.

OUTRO:
      D
No, I just can't say that I love you, to a street of
     G
city lights.
