The same old loose lipped cannon speaks for you today
G                         C                   Em
Alone without your talent there's not much to say
G                       C             Em
All these arguments are meaningless today
G                           C        C/B    F C D
And the reasons why they've vanished in the haze

Calling downtown, calling downtown
C                                  C/B                        D

Calling downtown, calling downtown
C                                  C/B                       G
How they came to love you when you didn't want to set them free

G                            C             Em
We don't forgive to know you will you ever see
G                        C                Em
No reasons do we owe you how'd it come to be
G                                  C                Em
The leaves have lost their shadows deep amongst the grey
G                              C       C/B     F C D
I hope that you'll be friendly I heard someone say
