City Lights

INTRO: G# C# D# G#

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

as I can see..
    D#7
The Great White Way shines through 
the
           G#
night, for lonely guys like me.

#2.
G#
The cabarets and honky tonks, their
C#                       D#
flashing signs invite..a broken 
heart to
                    D#7          
lose itself, in the glow of city 
G#    C# G#
lights.

CHORUS:
D#                                
Lights that say, forget her name, 
     G#
in a glass

Continues after the ad
of sherry wine.
D#                                 
Lights that offer other girls, are 
G#
empty

hearts like mine.

#3.
G#                                
They paint a pretty picture, of a 
C#
world that's

gay and bright.
         D#
But it's just a mask for 
loneliness..behind
           G#     C# G#
those city lights.


(INTERLUDE:) D# G# C# G#

CHORUS:
    D#
The lights that say, forget her 
love, in a
G#
different atmosphere.
    D#                           
The lights that lure are nothing, 
       G#
but a masquerade

for tears.

#4.
G#                                
They paint a pretty picture, but 
  C#
my arms can't

hold them tight.
      D#
And I just can't say, I love you, to
 a street
        G#
of city lights.
