Tom: G
G
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
C9
A Supernova in a mason jar
G
C9
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
G
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king
C9
Beating along this American dream
G
C9
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up
D
C9
G
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
D
C9
G
And I knew just where to take her that night
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
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
D
C9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
G
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
C9
A shooting star that falls too fast
G
C9
Try holding on, it's already gone
G
I searched that radio low and high
C9
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by
G
C9
And I did alright, for a small town guy
D
C9
G
But even in my arms I knew
D
C9
G
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do
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
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
D
C9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
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
When the sun went down, there she was
G
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
D
C9
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night
G
She's city lights
G
She's city lights
G
C9
She's my city lights, city lights
G
C9
She's my city lights, city lights
G
C9
She's my city lights, city lights
G
C9
She's my city lights, city lights
