Intro: D F C G (10x)
D        F            C
Downtown in the shade 
 G             D        F          C
Staring at the sunshine in my face 
 G            D              F             C
Telling me to come and hide, come and play 
 G                  D         F         C  
I'm telling you the sun never goes away 
G               D           F         C
And all I do is talk, talk, talk away 
G        D          F         C  G
When I'm talking my life away 
D                  F         C  G
I'm staring at the sun again 
D                 F
Till everything's fading 

D           F               C    G
It's like a swollen summer 
D           F               C    G
What if I’m getting dumber? 
D       C              G    F
What if I’m just in denial? 
D            C                G      F
What if they come and cop my style?

D        F            C
Downtown in the clear 
G             D            F            C
All I know is nothing ever changes here 
G                  D             F          C
And I know there’s no excuse and no defense 
G                    D          F          C
But my summer summer summertime never ends 
G               D           F            C   G
And all I do is talk, talk, talk all day 
D               F          C   G
I'm laughing my life away 
D              F             C    G
I'm staring at the sun again 
D                 F
Till everything's fading

What if they come and cop my style?
