Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
The first time that I saw you,
you were waiting for the train
Bm 
Your body like a shadow slipped away
G 
A bright display of color,
and the tunnel swept me under
D 
And the last thing I remember was your face

Verse 2
D 
I hoped you would appear,
in some old movie theater chair
Bm 
Some old vinyl back- booth
diner way downtown
D 
G 
I watched for you in windows,
sprayed your name across cement walls
D 
In parking lots when no
one was around
Bm 
The city lights,

Verse 3

they shine like silver,

the city lights, they shine like gold

I'm holding out, for something better,

what it is, I don't know

Verse 4
D 
The second time I saw you,
you were running in the rain
Bm 
Ducked back into a chinese restaurant
G 
I drove around the block,
C#dim 
G 
cursed the light, double parked
D 
Found only an old scarf that you forgot

Verse 5
D 
I wore it that whole winter,
hoped you'd see me in the street
Bm 
Your eye would catch and
suddenly you'd know
G 
A glance inside the subway,
the central station bustling
D 
And two strangers locking
eyes above it all

Verse 6

The city lights, they shine like silver,

the city lights, they shine like gold

I'm holding out, for something better,

what it is, I don't know

Verse 7

I'm alright, if you're asking,

I'm just tired, and I'm just stoned

And the city lights, are a constellation,

and your upturned face is, what I'm looking for

Verse 8
D 
I came around the corner on a bitter saturday
Bm 
A flower stand and trash cans on the curb
G 
I bought a cup of coffee from
a man who never saw me
D 
Turned around and raised
it up and there you were

Verse 9
D 
My heart escaped my body,
flew right up and disappeared
Bm 
I thought that I might lose you in the crowd
G 
But you crossed the street and suddenly
your voice was in my ear
D 
Saying don't i know your face
from somewhere else
Bm 
The city lights,
