[Verse 1]

   G
Walking up and down Columbus avenue
   G
Making friends with the girls I encounter with
  G
Left town cuz the floors wore through
  C
Around the ally ways I go wondering
  G
One and only can you hear me
  C
Staring at the ceiling in a cynical stairway
  G
Like an angel flying over me
  C
A one and only with the new thing happening


[Chorus]

  Dm           G
I got my mind set on you
  C                   F
From met rockers and down to sunrise
  Dm           G
But what am I coming to
  F
Cast down to paradise

G Bb F G Bb F

  C         Bb            F      C
Under the spell of city lights
  C            Bb       F     C
Weren't you a funny Valentine
  C            Bb
Let me know if I should send it
  F             C
Take my broken heart and mend it
            Bb            F
Under the spell of city lights

 G


[Verse 2]

  G
The memories keep me up at night
  C
Passing us to the engineer
  G
Take a trip to the harbor lights
  C
I think Tony left his heart down there
  Dm               G
Can't get my mind off of you
  C                   F
From met rockers and down to sunrise
  Dm           G
But what am I coming to
  F
Cast down to paradise

  C         Bb            F      C
Under the spell of city lights
  C            Bb       F     C
Weren't you a funny Valentine
  C            Bb
Let me know if I should send it
  F             C
Take my broken heart and mend it
            Bb            F
Under the spell of city lights

But what am I coming to
