G C Em
the same old loose lipped cannon 
speaks for you today 
alone without your talent 
there’s not much to say

G C Em
love is all gone wrong
so many lost today
G C F
and the reasons why they’ve
vanished in the haze

D F
(2*) calling downtown
C G D
no reasons do they owe you
tell me how’d you think it came to be


calling downtown
        F
calling downtown
C G D
how they come to love you
when you didn’t want to set them free

C G D

G C(with intro)

G C Em
we don’t forgive to know you
will you ever see
G C Em
know 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 F
i hope that you’ll be friendly 
i heard someone say


D F
(2*) calling downtown
C G D
no reasons do they owe you
tell me how’d you think it came to be


calling downtown
        F
calling downtown
C G D
how they come to love you
when you didn’t want to set them free

Instrumental over verse
G C Em (a few times)

D F

       C 
it’s a stranger (calling downtown)
    G                D
the further away you get

                F
(calling downtown, calling downtown)

       C 
it’s a stranger (calling downtown)
    G                D
the further away you get

its easy to start from the back of the line 
              F
where there’s no one to tell you you’re still behind

       C            G                D
it’s a stranger the further away you get

and you never miss your friends
                                  F
until you can’t relate to the people beside you here today .
       C            G                D
it’s a stranger the further away you get


calling downtown
