Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C#][D][A][D][A][D][G][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
The [G]bright array of city
[Am]light[G]s as f[C]ar as I[G] can se[C]e
[C#dim]The great [D]white way[Am] shin[D]es through
the night for [G]lonely guys like [Em]me[G]
The cabaretes and honky tonks
[C]their flashing signs invite
[C#dim]A broken [D]heart t[Am]o lose it[D]self
in the glow of [G]city lights

[Verse 2]
[C](Lights that [C#dim]say forge[D]t h[Am]er[D]
name) in [G]a glass [D]of sherry wine
[G](Li[C]ghts that off[C#dim]er other[D][Am][D]
[G]girls)for empty [D]hearts [G]like min[Em]e
[G]They paint a pretty pic[D]ture of a[G]
[C]world that's gay and bright
But [D]it's just [Am]a mask [D]for loneliness
behind [C]those [G]city lights
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]The world was dar[D]k and[G] God made
[A]stars [G]to bri[C]ghten up [G]the night[C]
Did [D]the God who [Am]put those [D]stars
above [G]make [D]those [G]city [Em]lights
[G]Did he make a place for men to [D]cry
[G]when thi[C]ngs don[G]'t turn out rig[C]ht
Are [C#dim]we just s[D]upposed to run and
hide behind those city [G]lights

[Verse 4]
[C](Lights [A]tha[D]t say forget her love) in
[G]a different [D]ath[G]mosphere
(Lights that [C]lure are[A][D][Am][D]
[G]nothing) but [D]a m[G]asquarade for tears
They paint a pretty picture but my
[C]arms can't hold them tight
And [C#dim]I just ca[D]n't say I love
you to a street of city [G]lights
[Em][G]
