G5 C5 E5
the same old loose lipped cannon 
speaks for you today 
alone without your talent 
there?s not much to say

G5 C5 E5
love is all gone wrong
so many lost today
G5 C5 F5
and the reasons why they?ve
vanished in the haze

D5 F5
(2*) calling downtown
C5 G5 D5
no reasons do they owe you
tell me how?d you think it came to be


calling downtown
        F5
calling downtown
C5 G5 D5
how they come to love you
when you didn?t want to set them free

C5 G5 D5

G C(with intro)

G5 C5 E5
we don?t forgive to know you
will you ever see
G5 C5 E5
know reasons do we owe you
how?d it come to be

G5 C5 E5
the leaves have lost their shadows
deep amongst the grey
G5 C5 F5
i hope that you?ll be friendly 
i heard someone say


D5 F5
(2*) calling downtown
C5 G5 D5
no reasons do they owe you
tell me how?d you think it came to be


calling downtown
        F5
calling downtown
C5 G5 D5
how they come to love you
when you didn?t want to set them free

Instrumental over verse
G5 C5 E5 (a few times)

D5 F5

       C5 
it?s a stranger (calling downtown)
    G5                D5
the further away you get

            F5
(calling downtown, calling downtown)

       C5 
it?s a stranger (calling downtown)
    G5                D5
the further away you get

its easy to start from the back of the line 
              F5
where there?s no one to tell you you?re still behind

       C5            G5                D5
it?s a stranger the further away you get

and you never miss your friends
                                  F5
until you can?t relate to the people beside you here today .
       C5            G5                D5
it?s a stranger the further away you get
