[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
The first time I saw you, you were waiting for the train
Am
Your body like a shadow slipped away
F
In a bright display of color and the tunnel swept me under
C
And the last thing I remember was your face
C
And I hoped that you would appear in some old movie scene or chair
Am
Some old vinyl-back booth diner way downtown
F
And I watched for you in windows, sprayed your name across the main walls
C
And parking lots when no one was around
[Chorus]
Am C Am
The city lights, they shine like silver. The city lights, they shine like
C
gold
F C G C C … C …
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
[Verse 2]
C
The second time I saw you, you were running in the rain
Am
Ducked back into a Chinese restaurant
F
I drove around the block, cursed the light, double parked
C
Found only an old scarf that you forgot
C
And I wore it that whole winter, hoped you see me in the street
Am
Your eye would catch and suddenly you’d know
F
A glance inside the subway, a central station bus
C
Two strangers locking eyes above it all
[Chorus]
Am C Am
The city lights, they shine like silver. The city lights, they shine like
C
gold
F C G C
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
[2nd Chorus]
Am C Am
And I’m all right now, if you’d ask me. And I’m just tired, and I’m too
