| A | A7 | D | |
| A bright aray of | city lights as | far as I can see, |
| E | A | |
| The | great white wave shines through the night for | lonely guys like me. |
| A7 | D | |
| The caberays and | honky tonks there | flashing signs invite, |
| E | A | |
| A | broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city | lights. |
| E | A | |
| Lights that say forget her name and a | glass of cherri wine, |
| E | A | |
| Lights that offer other girls for | empty hearts like mine. |
| A7 | D | |
| They paint a pretty | picture of a | world thats gay and brite, |
| E | A | |
| But it's | just a mask for loneliness behind those city | lights. |
| A | A7 | D | |
| The world was dark and | god made stars to | brighten up the night, |
| E | A | |
| But | god who put the stars above I don't | believe made those lights. |
| A7 | D | |
| For it's just a place for | men to cry when | things don't turn out right. |
| E | A | |
| Just a | place to run away and hide behind those city | lights. |
| E | A | |
| Lights that say forget her love in a | diffrent atmosphere, |
| E | A | |
| Lights that lure are nothing but a | maskeray for tears. |
| A7 | D | |
| They paint a pretty | picture but my | arms can't hold her tight, |
| E | A | |
| And I | just can't say I love to a street of city | lights. |
