Hi so this is my first tab and I love this song, and I was listening to it and
immediately started playing it and thought it sounded great so now i'm sharing how
i played it with you all! Enjoy!
Capo: 2nd Fret
The chords are pretty much Am, Em, F, and C the whole way through and when you get
to the last part when you say ''Night night night, oh whoaa'' I would give the F
chord 3 strums down and play the C chord once, and the same way with the interlude
before the 2nd verse.
[Am]It's a long road, [Em]And it gets windy, F[F]og is real low an[C]d it's so blinding
[Am]Oh I'm tryna steer, [Em]tryna take the lead
[F]But I feel like t[C]he road is steering me G[Am]etting so lost, [Em]like a cast away
[F]Feeling so crossed, l[C]ike a renegade
And I[Am]'m tryna call out [Em]in the big city
Ju[F]st a small voice an[C]d no ones listening to me
[Am]Oohh tel[Em]l me where to g[F]o
[C]Tell me that you k[Am]now
[Em]Just how b[F]right I glow[C]
Chorus: E[Am]very t[Em]ime that you th[F]ink you've lost your s[C]hine
J[Am]ust remember n[Em]othings brighter
Y[F]ou're the city li[C]ghts
E[Am]very [Em]time that you f[F]ade into the n[C]ight
J[Am]ust remember you're the fi[Em]re
[F]You're the city li[C]ghts
Th[C]at shine into the night, night, night, night, [Am]oh
[Am]Shine into the night, night, night, night, [Em]oh

Interlude: Am, Em, F, C (X2)
[Am]Oh I'm blending in [Em]and I'm sticking out
[F]Like a sore thumb t[C]hat they don't know about
[Am]Wanna make peace, w[Em]anna just breathe,
Wanna be the light that makes them all believe
I'm the race car, not the spectator
I'm the hero, not the narrator
Hercules, battling Conquering everything, yeah
Oohh tell me where to go, Tell me that you know, Just how bright I glow oh oh
Everytime that you think you've lost your shine
Just remember nothings brighter (Oh No)
You're the city lights (You're the city lights)
Everytime that you fade into the night
Just remember you're the fire
You're the city lights
That shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, oohh
