Down in the Street Below Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Press the doo[Em]rbell and pus[D]h the door
[F]Climb the darkened stairwell
to [Gsus4]the second [G]floor
[Em]She'll be waiting for you [G]in
[Asus4]her dressing- [A]gown
[Em]With the drink she poured you
[G]when she [Asus4]heard the[A] sound
[G]Watch the film, eat [D]the food she cooked
[F]Talk of how the film ain't half
as [Gsus4]good as t[G]he book
[Em]Kiss her sleepy eyes closed and
[Asus4]say "it's time"[A]
[Am]To slip beneath the shadows
of [C]the bedroom [D]blinds

[Verse 2]
Well it's al[G]ways a pleasure
and [Am]nev er a[D] chore
But you [G]just don't know whether you're
do[C]ing it for [Em]the right [Am]reasons[E]
It's [Bm]cold for [E]the sea[C] son
[F]down in the street [Em]be low

[Verse 3]
[G]Men and women go about
their business
[Am]Picking up the last few
things for Christmas
[D]Trying not to step upon the pigeons
[Em]Praying to the gods of their religions
[Am]That they might be spared
a little [C]longer
[Em]That they might become
a little [G]stronger
[Bm]Down [Am]in the street below[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Everybody's on a secret
mission
[Am]Everybody's got their own ambitions
[D]They would tell you if they
thought you'd listen
[Em]They would say how lately
they've been wishing
[Am]For the chance to meet a
handsome stranger
[Em]Lead a life of elegance and danger
[C]Down [Bm]in the street below[F#m]
[F]Down [Em]in the [C]stre[Em]et be
[Dsus4]low[G][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Way up [Em]high in a [D]phallic tower
[F]You're swimming in [Dm]a tiny
[Gsus4]galaxy of st[G]ars
[Em]Knocking back mojitos at
[Asus4]the cocktail [A]bar
[Em]Talking 'bout burritos and
con[Asus4]ceptual a[A]rt
[G]Your armchair's round and
[D]your glass is square
[F]The clientele's straight out of
this month's [Gsus4]Vanity Fa[G]ir
Well [Em]look around the place,
something's [Asus4]not quite right[A]
Yours [Am]is the only face that
you [D]don't recognize

[Verse 6]
Well it's al[G]ways a pleasure
and [Am]nev er a[D] chore
But you [G]just don't know whether you're
do[C]ing it for the right [Am]reasons[E]
It's cold for [C]the season [Dsus4]down in t[C]he [Dsus4]street be[D][G]
[D]low[G][C]
