               G                    G
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar

  Cadd9          Cadd9
A Supernova in a mason jar

      G                          Cadd9
Every boy in town wanted to show her around

     G                     G
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king

Cadd9              Cadd9
Beating along this American dream

G                          Cadd9
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up

          D               Cadd9   G
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes

      D                  Cadd9         G
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 bridge

G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was

G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust

      D                                  Cadd9       "2 extra strums"
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night

      G
She's city lights
Verse 2:
             G                      G
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have

  Cadd9              Cadd9
A shooting star that falls too fast

    G                  Cadd9
Try holding on, it's already gone

  G                   G
I searched that radio low and high

Cadd9                           Cadd9
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by

      G                  Cadd9
And I did alright, for a small town guy

    D          Cadd9  G
But even in my arms I knew

    D                            Cadd9       G
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 bridge

G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was

G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust

      D                                  Cadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night

      G
She's city lights
Solo G G G G 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 bridge

G                 G
When the sun went down, there she was

G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust

      D                                  Cadd9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night

      G
She's city lights

      G
She's city lights

G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights

G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights

G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights

G                     Cadd9
She's my city lights, city lights
