City Lights
recorded by Ray Price
written by Bill Anderson

G+G
A augmentedA bright array of city lights
  C majorC
As far as I can see
   D7D7
The great white way shines through the night
  G+G
On lonely guys like me


The cabaret's and honky tonks
    C majorC
Their flashing signs invite
 D7D7
A augmentedA broken heart to lose itself
             G+G
In the glow of city lights

D7D7
Lights that say forget her name
   G+G
In a glass of sherry wine
D7D7
Lights that offer other girls
   G+G
For empty hearts like mine

They paint a pretty picture
   C majorC
Of a world that's gay and bright
      D7D7
And it's just a mask for loneliness
            G+G
Behind those city lights


The world was dark and God made stars
  C majorC
To brighten up the night
   D7D7
But God would put the stars above
      G+G
I don't believe made those lights


It's just a place for men to cry
    C majorC
When things don't turn out right
     D7D7
Just a place to run away and hide
            G+G
Behind those city lights

D7D7
Lights that say forget her love
   G+G
In a different atmosphere
D7D7
Lights that lure are nothing but
  G+G
A augmentedA masquerade for tears


They paint a pretty picture
     C majorC
But my arms can?t hold them tight
    D7D7
And I just can't say I love you
             G+G
To a street of city lights
