[Intro] Em  G

Em
The streets are lined with people
                    G
People who want to move, move, move
Em
How can all these people
                 G
Have so much to prove, prove, prove

   Em
Oh I can only ask myself
                      G
Oh where are you all going?
    Am
And won't you take me with you to
                           C
Where all the sirens are blowing?

Em          C
Uptight Downtown
    Am
Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
     D                             Em
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Em          C
Uptight Downtown
    Am
Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
     D                             Em
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising

( Em G )
The streets are lined with people
With nothing left to lose, lose, lose
When did all these people
Decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes?

   Em
Oh I can only ask myself
                      G
Oh where are you all going?
    Am
And won't you take me with you to
                           C
Where all the sirens are blowing?
