When you're alone
            A          B7
And life is making you lonely,
        E         A   B7
You can always go downtown
E
When you've got worries,
        A             B7
All the noise and the hurry

Seems to help, I know, downtown


     E                          Dbm
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
E                                Dbm
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
Abm
How can you lose?

There are movie shows downtown

Maybe you know
            A         B7
Some little places to go to
           E           A   B7
Where they never close downtown


     E                         Dbm
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
E                              Dbm
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Abm
Happy again

E        A
Downtown where all the lights are bright,

Downtown, waiting for you tonight,

Downtown, you're gonna be alright now

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
E                                Dbm
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
