Bright lights and promises a pocket full of dreams

That's what they pay me to be
F Fm C
Gold lame' and diamonds I am a hometown queen
Ab7 G7 C Ab7 G7
Honey, would you sing it just for me?
[Verse 2]

Take a little time some memories and wine
C Am7 Dm7
Loosen up the sucker by the bar

And if he wants to hold you if he wants to know
Ab7 G7 C Ab7 G7
Honey, that's what your here for.
F Fm C Am
Until all I see is them reaching out for me
Ab7 G7 C
Drummer, play that ol' time melody. Change to CAPO 6 - F#
[Verse 5]
C Am Dm7
Bright lights and promises that's all it's for
C Am Dm7
Leave and enter by the service door
F Fm C
Now, I'm gold lame' and diamonds even if my gold is worn
Ab7 G7 C
Honey, can you show me more?
