Title:
“City Lights and Broken Dreams”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Under the city lights so bright, [G] we dream tonight, [Am] hand in hand,
[F] Promises whispered, echoed through [C] empty cans.
[C] Hopes running high, [G] touching the sky, [Am] never feeling low.
[F] The rhythm of our hearts, [C] beating fast and slow.

(Chorus)
[G] City Lights and Broken Dreams, [C] the theme of our lives,
[Am] An endless chase, [G] a tough race, [F] but we’ll survive.
[G] City Lights and Broken Dreams, [C] we won’t let it break us down,
[Am] Under the stars, [G] we’ll play our guitars, [F] we won’t wear a frown.

(Verse 2)
[C] The music loud, [G] lost in the crowd, [Am] we stand our ground,
[F] Echoing our dreams, [C] in every single sound.
[C] The city sleeps, [G] while ambition creeps, [Am] deep within our hearts,
[F] We’ll keep playing, [C] until the new day starts.

(Repeat Chorus)
