[Verse 1]
F Dm Gm C F
Uptown, the street's in a calming way
Dm Gm C F
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid

And I find it's all our waves and raves

That makes the days go on this way

Oo-oo-oh (x4)

[Verse 2]
F Dm Gm C F
I heard the sad sound of words

Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird
Dm Gm C F
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat
Dm Gm C (G)
Our ground never leaves me alone
F Dm Gm C
Oo-oo-oh (x4)
F Dm Gm C (x8)
[Verse 3]
F Dm Gm C
He means well, saying, I've got stories
F Dm Gm C
Of wine, superb, and of course my childhood
F Dm Gm C
Forks and knives, and a hospital bed
F Dm Gm C (G)
Where I turned my life over and over again
F Dm Gm C (x10)
