[Intro]
D7 G

[Verse]
G C
The bright array of city lights as far as I can see
D7 G
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
C
The cabarets and honky-tonks, their flashing signs invite
D7 G Cadd9 G
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights

[Chorus 1]
D7 G
Lights that say, "Forget her name" in a glass of cherry wine
D7 G
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine
G C
They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright
D7 G
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights

[Interlude]
D7 G

[Chorus 2]
D7 G
Lights that say "Forget her love" in a different atmosphere
D7 G
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears
C
They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't hold them tight
D7 G Cadd9 G
And I just can't say "I love you" to a street of city lights
