City Lights chords by Ray Price

City Lights
recorded by Ray Price
written by Bill Anderson

G
A bright array of city lights
    C
As far as I can see
      D7
The great white way shines through the night
    G
On lonely guys like me


The cabaret's and honky tonks
       C
Their flashing signs invite
  D7
A broken heart to lose itself
                         G
In the glow of city lights

D7
Lights that say forget her name
      G
In a glass of sherry wine
D7
Lights that offer other girls
     G
For empty hearts like mine


They paint a pretty picture
      C
Of a world that's gay and bright
           D7
And it's just a mask for loneliness
                        G
Behind those city lights


The world was dark and God made stars
    C
To brighten up the night
      D7
But God would put the stars above
            G
I don't believe made those lights


It's just a place for men to cry
        C
When things don't turn out right
         D7
Just a place to run away and hide
                       G
Behind those city lights

D7
Lights that say forget her love
      G
In a different atmosphere
D7
Lights that lure are nothing but
   G
A masquerade for tears


They paint a pretty picture
          C
But my arms can't hold them tight
        D7
And I just can't say I love you
                         G
To a street of city lights
