Chords

If this isn't 100% correct, it's damn close. I'm not sure of all the correct chord voicings, so I chose what sounded best to me. When I saw Kevin Griffin play this live, he played in the same key but without a capo and with different chords. This still sounds closest to the CD version, imo. Have fun playing this great song!

                 F      G11                Am7              Am7
It's a lot like falling, taking that first step onto the street

                   F      G11                     Am7            Am7
The whole night before you, spreading out like a technocolored dream

    F              G11                 Am7            Am7
So take this city into your arms, and hold it like a kiss

                     F      G11                 Am7            Am7
Don't it feel like flying, darling what could be better than this?
[Chorus]
              C                          C
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight

                 Am                           F
Shine like the stars shine above Île Saint-Louis

              F     G11      Am7  Am7
Turn up the bright lights
[Verse]
            F      G11              Am7           Am7
On a Paris morning, long before the sun dared to rise

                F   G11          Am7              Am7
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes

    F             G11                         Am7           Am7
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to her song

                       F   G11                Am7              Am7
'Cause she moves like music, darling but in a moment she'll be gone
[Chorus]
              C                          C
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight

                 Am                           F
Shine like the stars shine above Île Saint-Louis

             C                          C
Turn on the mystery, there's no other place to be

           Am                               F
It's only you and me beneath this perfect sky
[Bridge]
              A5-F5-F5           A5-G5-F5

              A5-F5-F5           C
Turn on the bright... lights...

    F              G11                        Am7            Am7

Turn up the bright lights, light up my world tonight
