[ Capo 1 - All chords relative to capo ]
 
 
A                A7             D 
A bright aray of city lights as far as I can see, 
    E                                             A 
The great white wave shines through the night for lonely guys like me. 
                 A7                D 
The caberays and honky tonks there flashing signs invite, 
  E                                               A 
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights. 
 
E                                     A 
Lights that say forget her name and a glass of cherri wine, 
E                                 A 
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine. 
                    A7           D 
They paint a pretty picture of a world thats gay and brite, 
         E                                            A 
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights. 
 
A                      A7                D 
The world was dark and god made stars to brighten up the night, 
    E                                   A 
But god who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights. 
                          A7              D 
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right. 
       E                                            A 
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights. 
 
E                                    A 
Lights that say forget her love in a diffrent atmosphere, 
E                                  A 
Lights that lure are nothing but a maskeray for tears. 
                    A7             D 
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold her tight, 
      E                                         A 
And I just can't say I love to a street of city lights.
