City Lights

• G

  G                                     C
 A bright array of city lights, as  far as I can see,
       D                                      
Their  great white wave shines through the night,
     C          D               G  
on  lonely  guys like  me,  
  G 
 The cabaret's and honky tonks,
      C   
The  flasking signs and lights
     D  
The broken heart to lose itself,
                           G  
In the glow of city lights  
  D 
 Lights that say forgive her now,
     G   
in aglass of sherry wine
  D   
Lights that offer other girls,
    G  
forempty hearts like mine  
   
  They paint a pretty picture,  
of a  world that's gay and bright,  
And it's just a mask for lonliness,  
Behind those city lights.  
   
The world was dark, God made the stars,  
to brighten up the night,  
But the guy that put those stars above,  
I don't beleive he made those lights,  
   
It's just a place for me to cry,  
when things don't turn out right,  
Just a place to run away and hide,  
behind those city lights.  
   
Lights that say forget her love,  
in a different atmosphere,  
Lights that allure are nothing but  
a masquerade for tears.  
   
They paint a pretty picture,  
of two arms that hold you tight,  
and I just can't say I love you  
to a street of city lights,  
   
No, I just can't say I love you, to a street of city lights
