Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Chord diagramE MajorE

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Chord diagramC majorC

Verse 1:
    Chord diagramC majorC
The first time I saw you, you were waiting for the train
     Chord diagramA minorAm
Your body like a shadow slipped away
     Chord diagramFF
In a bright display of color and the tunnel swept me under
        Chord diagramC majorC
And the last thing I remember was your face

      Chord diagramC majorC
And I hoped that you would appear in some old movie scene or chair
         Chord diagramA minorAm
Some old vinyl-back booth diner way downtown
      Chord diagramFF
And I watched for you in windows, sprayed your name across the main walls
    Chord diagramC majorC
And parking lots when no one was around
Chorus:
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC
The city lights, they shine like silver.  The city lights, they shine like gold
            Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramC majorCChord diagramC majorC …
I’m holding out for something better.  What it is, I don’t know


Verse 2:
    Chord diagramC majorC
The second time I saw you, you were running in the rain
       Chord diagramA minorAm
Ducked back into a Chinese restaurant
  Chord diagramFF
I drove around the block, cursed the light, double parked
      Chord diagramC majorC
Found only an old scarf that you forgot

      Chord diagramC majorC
And I wore it that whole winter, hoped you see me in the street
     Chord diagramA minorAm
Your eye would catch and suddenly you’d know
  Chord diagramFF
Chord diagramA augmentedA glance inside the subway, a central station bus
    Chord diagramC majorC
Two strangers locking eyes above it all
Chorus:
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC
The city lights, they shine like silver.  The city lights, they shine like gold
            Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC
I’m holding out for something better.  What it is, I don’t know

2nd Chorus:
            Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramA minorAm                 Chord diagramG+G
And I’m all right now, if you’d ask me.  And I’m just tired, and I’m too strong
             Chord diagramFF                    Chord diagramC majorC                          Chord diagramG+G                      Chord diagramC majorC
And the city lights, are a constellation.  And your upturned face, what I’m looking for


Verse 3:
      Chord diagramC majorC
And I came around the corner, on a bitter Saturday
  Chord diagramA minorAm
Chord diagramA augmentedA flower stand and trash cans on the curb
  Chord diagramFF
I bought a cup of coffee from a man who never saw
        Chord diagramC majorC
Turned around and raised it up, and there you were

       Chord diagramC majorC
And my heart escaped my body, flew right up and disappeared
      Chord diagramA minorAm
And I thought that I might lose you in the crowd
        Chord diagramFF
But you crossed the street and suddenly, your voice was in my ear
        Chord diagramC majorC
Saying, don’t I know your face from somewhere else


Chorus:
         Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramC majorC
The city lights, they shine like silver.  The city lights, they shine like gold
            Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC
I’m holding out for something better.  What it is, I don’t know
            Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramA minorAm
I’m holding out for something better.  What it is, I don’t know
            Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC
I’m holding out for something better.  What it is, I don’t know
