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
