The cCity's so in styGle, Dall you see for miEmles are people spilling Cin and out of cGars
MDan I love these baEmrs are making a killin'
CEverywhere I go  Glooks lDike the place to bEme
I see pCeople that I kGnow and I feel like there's nDo one here but me
[Chorus]
DCowntown's dEmead without youG  D  
GCirls walk by and frEmiends say hi
Then Friday nCight it might as welDl be just another
TCuesday nEmight without youG  D  
As lCong as you're still Emin my head
There ain't a wCay that I can paint a ghDost town red
N.C.
Downtown's dead, downtown's dead
[Verse]
DCancing in the stroGbes oDut here in the throwEms of loud house music
CEverything's a bluGr

TrCy to get involvGed, Dbut I've abouEmt had enough of people wCall to the walGl
 DAnd I'm just holdin' it up 'cause
[Chorus]
DCowntown's dEmead without youG  D
