[D]When you're [Dmaj7]alone and life is [G]making you l[A7]onely
you can [D]always go Do[G]wn[A]town
[D]When you've got [Dmaj7]worries , all the [G]noise and the [A7]hurry
seems to [D]help, I know, [G]Down[A]town

{start_of_chorus}
[D]Listen to the music of the[Bm] traffic in the city
[D]Linger on the sidewalk where the [Bm]neon signs are pretty
[F#m]How can you lose
[G]The lights are much brighter there
You can for[Bm7]get all your [E]troubles, for[Bm7]get all your [E]cares
So go [D]down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]things'll be g[A6]reat when [A9]you're
[D]Down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]no finer pla[A6]ce for [A9]sure
[D]Down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]everything's [A6]waiting f[A9]or y[D]ou
{end_of_chorus}

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you, 
there are movie shows downtown
maybe you know some little places to go
to where they never close downtown
{start_of_chorus}
just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa nova
you'll be dancin' with them, too, before the night is over
happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
{end_of_chorus}

(part verse instrumental)

and [D]you may find somebody kind to [Bm]love and understand you
[D]someone who is just like you and [Bm]needs a gentle hand to
[F#m]guide them along
[G]so maybe I'll see you there
we can [Bm7]forget all our [E]troubles, for[Bm7]get all our [E]cares
so go [D]down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]things'll be [A6]great when [A9]you're
[D]down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]don't wait a [A6]minute [A9]more
[D]down[Dmaj7]town, [Em7]everything's [A6]waiting [A9]for [D]you
[D]down[Em7]town, [D]down[Em7]town
