Am G
Time's running out just as fast as it can She's leaving me cold I don't understand
Am G C
Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor Gotta kill this pain 'cause I can't take no more
G Dm G C
Bright Lights on a cold night If it feels good then it's alright
Am G
Thinking about when we first met All these memories kill me get them out of my head
Am G
The flashing lights of the cities roar Make my mind a blurr Who's knocking on the door?
Am G C
Nothing's for keeps Can't get no sleep! My future is late Guess I'll find it next week

Bright Lights on a cold night If it feels good then it's alright
G Dm
And she's up there in the spotlight

See her there in a New York fashion show

See the freedom in her eyes Could've chose a better time
G G
For it all to go wrong
Solo Am G x 2
Am G
Another night and my life is my own But it scares me half to death
Am G
I turn on the Tv, I see her favourite shows oh I can't get her out off my head
Am G
Out in the bars in the village with friends You can buy me a drink
C
But please don't mention her name
G Dm G C
Bright Lights on a cold night If it feels good then it's allright
G Dm G C
Shes up there in the spot-light Now it's over and it's goodnight
