[D] [A]
[D] How many times have I washed my face, combed my hair, left this place?
Felt the shiver in my chest when I hit the door, the promise of something here worth living for
Had a fight with a woman that had my kids, can't get along with anyone.
What if I did?
I'm going back to the corner where we used to meet, when our dreams were young and the nights were sweet
I'm going out tonight, going way downtown, where my friends who died still [A] hang around
[G] See what's shaking as the [D] leaves turn brown
[E] Seasons been [Bm] and gone
[A]
Another one's coming on
[D] And I'm on my way downtown
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
Well, it was 30 years ago in the setting sun, I was walking down Union Street, I started [G] to run
Down into a cellar where the music screamed, [D] I guess that hit me harder than I ever dreamed
In the [G] Palace Theatre Hall later [D] on that night, there were [A] miracles in store but not a [D] soul in sight
They phoned ringing, didn't seem so strange, anything could happen, everything [A] could change
[D] I'm going out tonight, way downtown, where my friends who died hang [G] around
All that moonlight's building on the ground, a season's been and gone
[G] [D]
We used to gather here, flirt and [A] laugh, now all my [D] dreams are cut in half
Girls are smoking cigarettes, chewing gum, [E] they just get scared when they see [A] me come
[D] Way downtown, the corners move, sandstone slabs are [G] worn and grooved
Turning black in the [D] first drops of rain, you can smell the earth and sky again
[G] [D]
[C] Hear the rattle of the [G] leaves, the locust [D] call, underneath the [A] elms by the schoolyard wall
[D] Summer's over, the fields are tall
Seasons been [Bm] and gone
[A]
Another one's [Bm] coming on
[D] And I'm on my way downtown
