Key:
G Oh, she was a dreamer
D Paintin' mountains when she thinks no one sees her Drawin' stories in the night
Em They help her make it out alive
C But she's hopin' that one day she'll get it right
G 'Cause they won't believe her
D When she tells them of the worlds she can see up there But those broken wings won't fly
Em Without someone to make it right
C So she's leavin' town to fix it all tonight [Pre Chorus]
G And she moved to the city just to figure it out
D By the lower east side, second street in the south
Em C But she's scared, she's scared, she's scared that she's still lost And on the balcony, she cries

[Chorus]
G D Who am I If I'm one of a million lights?
Em Trapped in the Manhattan sky
C And all I hear is my echo, echo [Verse 2]
G Oh, he kept the lights dim
D Hides his face so he knows they'll never find him
Em Catchin' lightnin' in the night It's helped him make it out alive
C But one man's passion is another's copyright
G The kids used to doubt him
D Now they pretend he couldn't have done it without them
Em Oh, his broken wings, they fly But that still doesn't make it right
C 'Cause he felt stronger when the world was out of sight [Pre Chorus 2]
G Yes, he may have found home in the city of dreams
D But the lights in Times Square aren't as bright as they seem
Em C Yet he knows, he knows, he knows it's worth the cost And on the balcony, he cries [Chorus]
G D Who am I If I'm one of a million lights?
Em Trapped in the Manhattan sky
C And all I hear is my echo, echo [Bridge]
G D Hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh
Em Ooh-ooh, ho-oh-oh-oh
C Ooh-oh-whoa-oh, oh-oh [Chorus]
G D Who am I If I'm one of a million lights?
Em Trapped in the Manhattan sky
C And all I hear is my echo, echo
