[Verse 1]

E                      A           E
I won't stay home and cry tonight like every night before
B7                                       A           E
   I've just learned that I don't really need you anymore
                 A              E
I found a little place downtown where girls like me can go
                               B7          E      E
And they've got bright lights  and country music


[Chorus]

       A                                     E
Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass
F#7                                           B7
Soon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a past
    E              A                E
And when everybody asks me just how I forget so fast
                       B7          E
I'll say bright lights and country music


[Interlude]

E             A        A7        E               E

B7            B7                 A               E

E             B                  A               E

E     E       B7                 E               E


[Verse 2]

E               A           E
A table by the bandstand a bottle filled with wine
B7                                 A              E
Honky tonks were made for Girls  with lovin' on their minds
                 A               E
Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine
                         B7          E
Quite like bright lights and country music


[Chorus]

       A                          E
Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass
   F#7                                         B7
Soon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a past
    E              A                E
And when everybody asks me just how I forget so fast
                       B7          E
I'll say bright lights and country music

[Outro]

                           B7          E
I love those bright lights and country music
