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]
C D11 Bm7 Em7
It's a lot like falling, taking that first step onto the street
C D11 Bm7 Em7
The whole night before you, spreading out like a technocolored dream
C D11 Bm7 Em7
So take this city into your arms, and hold it like a kiss
C D11 Bm7 Em7
Don't it feel like flying, darling what could be better than this?
[Chorus]
G D
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight
Em C
Shine like the stars shine above �le Saint-Louis
C D11 Bm7 Em7
Turn up the bright lights
[Verse]
C D11 Bm7 Em7
On a Paris morning, long before the sun dared to rise
C D11 Bm7 Em7
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes
C D11 Bm7 Em7
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to her song
C D11 Bm7 Em7
'Cause she moves like music, darling but in a moment she'll be gone
[Chorus]
G D
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight
Em C
Shine like the stars shine above �le Saint-Louis
G D
Turn on the mystery, there's no other place to be
Em C
It's only you and me beneath this perfect sky
[Bridge]
E5-G5-C5 E5-D5-C5
Turn on the bright... lights...
E5-G5-C5 D
Turn on the bright... lights...

So take this city and catch your breath, and hold it like a kiss
[Chorus]
G D
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight
Em C
Shine like the stars shine above �le Saint-Louis
G D
Turn on the mystery, there's no other place to be
Em C
It's only you and me beneath this perfect sky
G D
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight
Em C
Shine like the stars shine above �le Saint-Louis
G D Em C
Turn up the bright lights, light up my world tonight
