"City Lights" - Eddie Noack (originally by Ray Price) Released 1958 [Intro] D7 G [Verse]
    G                              C
The bright array of city lights as far as I can see

    D7                                                            G
The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me

                                    C
The cabarets and honky-tonks, their flashing signs invite

  D7                                              G  Cadd9  G
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights
[Chorus 1]
D7                                      G
Lights that say, "Forget her name" in a glass of cherry wine

D7                                G
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine

   G                             C
They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright

         D7                                           G
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights
[Interlude] D7 G [Chorus 2]
D7                                     G
Lights that say "Forget her love" in a different atmosphere

D7                                 G
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears

                                    C
They paint a pretty picture, but my arms can't hold them tight

      D7                                              G  Cadd9  G
And I just can't say "I love you" to a street of city lights
