City Lights Chords & Lyrics - Mickey Gilley

INTRO: [D] [Em] [G]

#1.
[G]A bright array of city lights, as [C]far as

I can see.
The '[D]Great White Way' shines through the night,
on [C]lonely [D]guys like [G]me.[D]
The [G]cabaret's and honky tonks, their [C]flashing

signs and lights.
The [D]broken heart can lose itself in the glow
of city [G]lights[Gb] . [C] [D]

#2.
[D]Lights that say forget her now, in a [G]glass [D]of
sherry [G]wine.
[D]Lights that offer other girls, for [G]empty [D]hearts
like [G]mine..[C]they [G]paint a pretty picture, of a
[C]world that's gay and bright.
And it's [D]just a mask for loneliness, behind
those city [G]lights.

INTERLUDE: [G] [D] [Am7] [G] [Em7]

#3.
The [G]world was dark, God made the stars to [C]brighten

up the night.
But the [D]God who put those stars above, I don't
be[C]lieve he [D]made those [G]lights[D] .
It's [G]just a place for me to cry, when [C]things don't

turn out right.
Just a [D]place to run away and hide, behind those
city [G]lights[D] . [G]

#4.
[D]Lights that say, forget her [Am7]love, in a [G]different

atmosphere.
[D]Lights that lure are nothing but a [G]masquerade [D]for
[G]tears.
[G]They paint a pretty picture, but my [C]arms can't hold

you tight.
And I [D]just can't say that I love you to a street of
city [G]lights.

[OUTRO]
No, I [D]just can't say that I love you, to a street of
city [G]lights.
