Verse 1:
GG
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
Cadd9Cadd9A Supernova in a mason jar
GCadd9
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
GG
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king
Cadd9Cadd9
Beating along this American dream
GCadd9
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up
DCadd9G
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
DCadd9G
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 bridgeGG
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
DCadd9 "2 extra strums"
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
Verse 2:
GG
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
Cadd9Cadd9A shooting star that falls too fast
GCadd9
Try holding on, it's already gone
GG
I searched that radio low and high
Cadd9Cadd9
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by
GCadd9
And I did alright, for a small town guy
DCadd9G
But even in my arms I knew
DCadd9G
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 bridgeGG
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
DCadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
SoloGGGGChorus:
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 bridgeGG
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
DCadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
G
She's city lights
GCadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
GCadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
GCadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
GCadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
