Better Than Ezra - Turn Up The Bright Lights
If this isn't 100% correct, it's damn close. I'm not sure of all the correct
chord voicings, so I chose what sounded best to me. When I saw Kevin Griffin play
this live, he played in the same key but without a capo and with different
chords. This still sounds closest to the CD version, imo. Have fun playing this
great song! Rate/comment if you like this tab or have suggestions to improve it.

[Verse]
It's a lot like f[C]alling,[D11] taking that first [Bm7]step onto the str[Em7]eet
The whole night bef[C]ore you[D11], spreading out like a t[Bm7]echnocolored dr[Em7]eam
So t[C]ake this city i[D11]nto your arms, and h[Bm7]old it like a k[Em7]iss
Don't it feel like fl[C]ying, d[D11]arling what could be[Bm7] better than th[Em7]is?
[Chorus]
Turn up the br[G]ight lights, light up the w[D]orld tonight
Shine like the st[Em]ars shine above le Saint-Lou[C]is
Turn up the br[C]ight l[D11]ights[Bm7][Em7]

[Verse]
On a Paris m[C]orning,[D11] long before the [Bm7]sun dared to r[Em7]ise
Walking on the r[C]iver[D11], reflecting [Bm7]diamonds in your [Em7]eyes
So t[C]ake this city [D11]and catch your breath, and l[Bm7]isten to her s[Em7]ong
'Cause she moves like m[C]usic[D11], darling but in a [Bm7]moment she'll be [Em7]gone
[Chorus]
Turn up the br[G]ight lights, light up the w[D]orld tonight
Shine like the st[Em]ars shine above le Saint-Lou[C]is
Turn on the m[G]ystery, there's no other pl[D]ace to be
It's only y[Em]ou and me beneath this perfect sk[C]y
[Bridge]
Turn on the br[E5-G5-C5]ight... lights...[E5-D5-C5]
Turn on the br[E5-G5-C5]ight... lights...[D]
So t[C]ake this city a[D11]nd catch your breath, and h[Bm7]old it like a k[Em7]iss
[Chorus]
Turn up the br[G]ight lights, light up the w[D]orld tonight
Shine like the st[Em]ars shine above le Saint-Lou[C]is
Turn on the m[G]ystery, there's no other pl[D]ace to be
It's only y[Em]ou and me beneath this perfect sk[C]y
Turn up the br[G]ight lights, light up the w[D]orld tonight
Shine like the st[Em]ars shine above le Saint-Lou[C]is
Turn up the br[G]ight lights[D], light up my w[Em]orld ton[C]ight
