[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
The first time I saw you, you were waiting for the train
Am
Your body like a shadow slipped away
F
In a bright display of color and the tunnel swept me under
C
And the last thing I remember was your face
C
And I hoped that you would appear in some old movie scene or chair
Am
Some old vinyl-back booth diner way downtown
F
And I watched for you in windows, sprayed your name across the main walls
C
And parking lots when no one was around
[Chorus]
Am C Am C
The city lights, they shine like silver. The city lights, they shine like gold
F C G C C … C …
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
[Verse 2]
C
The second time I saw you, you were running in the rain
Am
Ducked back into a Chinese restaurant
F
I drove around the block, cursed the light, double parked
C
Found only an old scarf that you forgot
C
And I wore it that whole winter, hoped you see me in the street
Am
Your eye would catch and suddenly you’d know
F
A glance inside the subway, a central station bus
C
Two strangers locking eyes above it all
[Chorus]
Am C Am C
The city lights, they shine like silver. The city lights, they shine like gold
F C G C
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
[2nd Chorus]
Am C Am G
And I’m all right now, if you’d ask me. And I’m just tired, and I’m too strong
F C G C
And the city lights, are a constellation. And your upturned face, what I’m looking for
[Verse 3]
C
And I came around the corner, on a bitter Saturday
Am
A flower stand and trash cans on the curb
F
I bought a cup of coffee from a man who never saw
C
Turned around and raised it up, and there you were
C
And my heart escaped my body, flew right up and disappeared
Am
And I thought that I might lose you in the crowd
F
But you crossed the street and suddenly, your voice was in my ear
C
Saying, don’t I know your face from somewhere else
[Chorus]
Am C Am C
The city lights, they shine like silver. The city lights, they shine like gold
F C G C
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
F C G Am
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
F C G C
I’m holding out for something better. What it is, I don’t know
