U2 - City of Blinding Lights


A                   E
The more you see the less you know
D 
The less you find out as you go
A               E     D
I knew much more then than I do now
 
A           E
Neon heart dayglo eyes
D 
A city lit by fireflies
A                     E
They’re advertising in the skies
D 
For people like us

In the city of blinding lights 

A             E  
Don’t look before you laugh
D 
Look ugly in a photograph
A             E 
Flash bulbs purple irises
D 
The camera can’t see
 
A              E 
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
D 
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
