Verse 1:
               G                    G
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
  Cadd9          Cadd9
A Supernova in a mason jar
      G                          Cadd9
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
     G                     G
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king
Cadd9              Cadd9
Beating along this American dream
G                          Cadd9
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up
          D               Cadd9   G
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
      D                  Cadd9         G
And I knew just where to take her that night

Chorus:
           G
And we got high on top of that ridge
G
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
      D                                  Cadd9       "2 extra strums"
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
      G
She's city lights

Verse 2:
             G                      G
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
  Cadd9              Cadd9
A shooting star that falls too fast
    G                  Cadd9
Try holding on, it's already gone
  G                   G
I searched that radio low and high
Cadd9                           Cadd9
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by
      G                  Cadd9
And I did alright, for a small town guy
    D          Cadd9  G
But even in my arms I knew
    D                            Cadd9       G
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do

Chorus:
           G
And we got high on top of that ridge
G
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
      D                                  Cadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
      G
She's city lights

Solo G G G G

Chorus:
           G
And we got high on top of that ridge
G
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
      D                                  Cadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
      G
She's city lights
      G
She's city lights

G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
