C                    Am                F                 C
Up in the morning, I know you're there and the sun will rise
C                       Am             F                 C
Back of the evening lay down somewhere and we close our eyes
C                Am       F                 C
I can't count on anything but the day and night
C                   Am                F    C
I wanna write you a love song with my life

[Verse 2]
C                       Am            F              C
Another season and that old moonlight shines down on us
C                        Am           F              C
Don't got a reason to be out tonight, just a wanderlust
C                Am        F          C
I can't count on anything, come rain, come rust
C                   Am                F     C
I wanna write you a love song you can trust

[Chorus]
C             Am     F
Going way downtown tonight
C             Am     F
Gonna feel it out alright
      C    (G)  Am   F
Gonna down this town tonight
F
Head held high. Ooh-oh.

C Am F C x2

[Verse 3]
C                          Am           F            C
Sometimes I wonder if it's hard to know a world so bright
C                    Am          F                     C
The technicolor of a loving soul dimmed to black and white
C                Am       F             C
I can't count on anything but the stars in the sky
C                   Am                 F   C
I wanna write you a love song with my life

[Chorus]
C             Am     F
Going way downtown tonight
C             Am     F
Gonna feel it out alright
      C    (G)  Am   F
Gonna down this town tonight
F
Head held high. Hmm-mm.

[Instrumental]
C Am F C x3

[Outro]
C                   Am                 F   C
I wanna write you a love song with my life
C                 Am                 F   C
Gonna write you a love song with my life
C                  Am                F    C
Let me write you a love song with my life
