E5
I'm just a man with a job
A5
You can call me Harry, Jim or Bob
C5                              G5
Three floors below from Picadilly
                  A5
It's dark and chilly
B5
Counting the cars with cocktail bars
Keeping a check on four-wheeled wrecks

E5
Three floors above it's not the same
 A5 
Picadilly, lighting up the rain
C5                            G5
Here I'm a ghost in the cellar
                A5
The kind of fellow
B5
Who's counting days that could be nights
Count on the man who's counting lights

E5                           B5                E5
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
E5                           B5               E5
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
E5                 A5   D5             G5               
Headlights from a limo, wakin' up the wino 
E5                          B5                 E5
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
E5                           B5             E5
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light

B5           E5  B5               E5
And every night, I'm counting lights
B5             E5  B5              E5
From left to right, I count the lights

I'm just a man with a map
My 'A to Z' is open on my lap
Lady I know where you're goin'
Your class is showin'
Your headlights polished to a 'T'
I'll count your lights, you count on me

Someday I'll leave, I believe
If I can find the trump card in my sleeve
Counting the boats in Monte Carlo
A silver arrow
Upon a cabbie cap
My 'A to Z' flat on it's back

Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
Leave it to the navy, look here comes a chevy
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
And every night, I'm counting lights
From left to right, I count the lights
