Downbeat chords by Ben Chapman

♫ Intro:

C


♫ Verse 1:
           C
Well, this place gets scary after dark
C
Buying cocaine in the parking lot
C
It's a little too calm before the storm
C
Yeah, I'm breaking a sweat and it ain't even warm

♫ Pre-Chorus:
          C
Because I dodged another bullet and a wicked stare
C
From the girl next door with the platinum hair
            C
When you're up this high, it's a long way down
C
If I keep on flying, I won't hit the ground
C
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it


♫ Chorus:
                C
'Cause when the downbeat comes, everything's alright
C
Tryna make the best of another night
C
You never know what might ever come along
C
You might get lucky and sing her favorite song
    C
Two cousins in the corner 'bout to get in a fight
C
Over something 'bout nothing they can't get by
         C
When the downbeat comes, everything's alright
C
Downbeat comes, everything's alright, alright, yeah


♫ Verse 2:
C
Half-drunk, half-stoned, half-keeping-my-cool
C
Lotta of small town trouble with something to prove
C
I can't speed it up and I can't play to slow
C
Gotta find the right groove with just enough soul


♫ Pre-Chorus:
           C
'Cause the word around here sure travels fast
C
When the lights on you and your checkered past
      C
I'm a king without a crown in this shotgun shack
C
Singing what they want gotta make 'em come back
C
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it
