Verse 1:
G+G G+G
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9Cadd9
A augmentedA Supernova in a mason jar
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
G+G G+G
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king
Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9Cadd9
Beating along this American dream
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And I knew just where to take her that night
Chorus:
G+G
And we got high on top of that ridge
G+G
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
G+G G+G
When the sun went down, there she was
G+G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 "2 extra strums"
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G+G
She's city lights
Verse 2:
G+G G+G
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9Cadd9
A augmentedA shooting star that falls too fast
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Try holding on, it's already gone
G+G G+G
I searched that radio low and high
Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9Cadd9
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And I did alright, for a small town guy
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But even in my arms I knew
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do
Chorus:
G+G
And we got high on top of that ridge
G+G
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
G+G G+G
When the sun went down, there she was
G+G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust

I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night

She's city lights
Solo G+G G+G G+G G+G

G+G
And we got high on top of that ridge

We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge

When the sun went down, there she was

Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night

She's city lights
G+G
She's city lights
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights

She's my city lights, city lights
