[Intro]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Bmin7 Amin7 D Amin7
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Hold back the night from us,
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Cherish the light for us,
Bm7 Am7 D
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn.
[Verse 2]
Am7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Cold city lights glowing,
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
The traffic of life is flowing,
Bmin7 Am7 B7sus4 B7
Out over the rivers and on into dark.
[Chorus]
Em D Am7
I'm going down town where there's music,
Em D Am7
I'm going where voices fill the air,
Em D Am7
Maybe there's someone waiting for me
C B7sus4 B7
With a smile and a flower in her hair
Em D Am7
I'm going down town where there's people
Em D Am7
The loneliness hangs in the air.
Em D Am7
With no-one there real waiting for me,
C D Am7
No smile, no flower nowhere.
