Downtown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, all the parties on the streets are talkin'
Store front mannequins sleeping in the lights
[G]We used to smoke
while we were jay-walking
Like it was your birthday
every other Saturday night [D]night
Knew the bands so we never payed our cover
Wrote our names on the bathroom tiles
[G]We never dressed to impress all the others
They would let us in on our laid back
kinda [A]style
But boy, you know it's been a while

[Chorus 1]
And I don't know [D]why you don't take me
downtown
Like you got anywhere better to be
You talk it [G]up and give me
the go 'round, 'round
Like a good time tease
I'm only [D]counting on your cancellation
When I should be counting on you at my door
Did you for[G]get about how we went around?
I don't know why you don't take me downtown
any[D]more, (oh) any[G]more

[Verse 2]
[D]I got some platforms sitting in the corner
They wanna stroll on a city sidewalk
[G]I got a dress that'll show a little uh-uh
But you ain't getting uh-uh
If you don't come pick me [A]up (Damn)
Show me off (Wow)
You might be tired, but I'm not

[Chorus 2]
And I don't know [D]why you don't take me
downtown
Like you got anywhere better to be
You talk it [G]up and give me
the go 'round, 'round
Like a good time tease
I'm only [D]counting on your cancellation
When I should be counting on you at my door
Did you for[G]get about how we went around?
I don't know why you don't take me
downtown...

[Solo 1]
(any[D]more)[D][G][G]
[D][D][G][G]

[Chorus 3]
And I don't know why you don't take me
downtown
Like you got anywhere better to be
You talk it up and give me
the go 'round, 'round
Like a good time tease
I'm only [D]counting on your cancellation
When I should be counting on you at my door
Did you for[G]get about how we went around?
I don't know why you don't take me
downtown...

[Outro 1]
(any[D]more)
Oh, any[G]more
Yeah, don't know [D]why
you don't take me downtown
I don't know why you don't take me
downtown any[G]more
I just don't get [D]it
