G C
A bright array of city lights, as far as
I can see.

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.

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

They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't hold
you tight.

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