****************************************************************

A                A7             D
A bright aray of city lights as far as I can see,
    E                                             A
The great white wave shines through the night for lonely guys like me.
                 A7                D
The caberays and honky tonks there flashing signs invite,
  E                                               A
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.


E                                     A
Lights that say forget her name and a glass of cherri wine,
E                                 A
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine.
                    A7           D
They paint a pretty picture of a world thats gay and brite,
         E                                            A
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.

A                      A7                D
The world was dark and god made stars to brighten up the night,
    E                                   A
But god who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights.
                          A7              D
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right.
       E                                            A
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights.


E                                    A
Lights that say forget her love in a diffrent atmosphere,
E                                  A
Lights that lure are nothing but a maskeray for tears.
                    A7             D
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold her tight,
      E                                         A
And I just can't say I love to a street of city lights.
