#1.
Ab5                                 C#5
The bright array of city lights as far 

as I can see..
    Eb5
The Great White Way shines through the 
           Ab5
night, for lonely guys like me.

#2.
Ab5
The cabarets and honky tonks, their 
C#5                       Eb5
flashing signs invite..a broken heart to 
                    Eb5          Ab5    C#5 Ab5
lose itself, in the glow of city lights.

CHORUS:
Eb5                                     Ab5
Lights that say, forget her name, in a glass 

of sherry wine.
Eb5                                 Ab5
Lights that offer other girls, are empty 

hearts like mine.

#3.
Ab5                                C#5
They paint a pretty picture, of a world that's 

gay and bright.
         Eb5
But it's just a mask for loneliness..behind 
           Ab5     C#5 Ab5
those city lights.


(INTERLUDE:) Eb5 Ab5 C#5 Ab5

CHORUS:
    Eb5
The lights that say, forget her love, in a 
Ab5
different atmosphere.
    Eb5                                  Ab5
The lights that lure are nothing, but a masquerade 

for tears.

#4.
Ab5                                  C#5
They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't 

hold them tight.
      Eb5
And I just can't say, I love you, to a street 
        Ab5
of city lights.
