“Bright Lights, City Nights”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the city sky, [D] we found our paradise, [Em] lost in a sea of neon lights. [C]
[G] We danced in the rhythm of the night, [D] not thinking about the passing time, [Em] we were young and free, and everything felt right. [C]
(Chorus)
[G] Bright lights, city nights, [D] they’ve been our guiding light. [Em]
[C] Through the chaos and the noise, [G] we found our voice. [D]
[Em] Bright lights, city nights, [C] You’re the color of our life. [G]
[D] In the heart of New York, we found our spark. [Em] [C]
(Verse 2)
[G] The city’s pulse became our song, [D] we played it loud, we played it strong. [Em]
[C] We found a rhythm that felt so right, [G] in the chaos of the city night. [D] [Em]
(Chorus)
[G] Bright lights, city nights, [D] they’ve been our guiding light. [Em]
[C] Through the chaos and the noise, [G] we found our voice. [D]
[Em] Bright lights, city nights, [C] You’re the color of our life. [G]
[D] In the heart of New York, we found our spark. [Em] [C]
(Bridge)
[G] In this concrete jungle we found a home, [D] a place where we could grow. [Em]
[C] Through the highs and the lows, [G] we’ve learned to flow, [D] under the city’s glow. [Em] [C]
(Chorus)
[G] Bright lights, city nights, [D] they’ve been our guiding light. [Em]
[C] Through the chaos and the noise, [G] we found our voice. [D]
[Em] Bright lights, city nights, [C] You’re the color of our life. [G]
[D] In the heart of New York, we found our spark. [Em] [C]
(Outro)
[G] So here’s to the city that never sleeps, [D] and the memories we’ll always keep. [Em]
[C] Bright lights, city nights, [G] you’re the heartbeat of our lives. [D] [Em] [C]
