verse 1: G G She was like a brand new song on an old guitar Cadd9 Cadd9 A Supernova in a mason jar G Cadd9 Every boy in town wanted to show her around G G As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king Cadd9 Cadd9 Beating along this American dream G Cadd9 Wrecked out the truck when she showed up D Cadd9 G She had a fire inside her faraway eyes D Cadd9 G And I knew just where to take her that nightverse 2: G G She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have Cadd9 Cadd9 A shooting star that falls too fast G Cadd9 Try holding on, it's already gone G G I searched that radio low and high Cadd9 Cadd9 Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by G Cadd9 And I did alright, for a small town guy D Cadd9 G But even in my arms I knew D Cadd9 G I'd never shine as bright as her city lights doG And we got high on top of that ridge G We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge G G When the sun went down, there she was G Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust D Cadd9 "2 extra strums" I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night G She's city lightsSolo G G G G Chorus: G And we got high on top of that ridge G We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge G G When the sun went down, there she was G Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust D Cadd9 I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night G She's city lights G She's city lights G Cadd9 She's my city lights, city lights G Cadd9 She's my city lights, city lights G Cadd9 She's my city lights, city lights G Cadd9 She's my city lights, city lights END OF SONG YOU CAN ALSO PLAY THE Chorus LIKE THIS: Chorus: G Cadd9 G And we got high on top of that ridge G Cadd9 G We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge G G Cadd9 G When the sun went down, there she was G Cadd9 G Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust D Cadd9 I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night G She's city lightsG And we got high on top of that ridge G We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge G G When the sun went down, there she was G Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust D Cadd9 I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night G She's city lights
