G   Em        Am            D       G
  Uptown, the street's in a calming way
       Em      Am        D          G
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid
      Em        Am      D         G
And I find it's all our waves and raves
     Em        Am      D      (G)
That makes the days go on this way

G Em Am D
  Oo-oo-oh   (x4)

G Em Am D    (x6)

[Verse 2]
G   Em        Am  D        G
  I heard the sad sound of words
   Em         Am        D        G
Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird
  Em        Am          D     G
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat
    Em           Am     D  (G)
Our ground never leaves me alone

G Em Am D
  Oo-oo-oh   (x4)

G Em Am D    (x8)

[Verse 3]
   G     Em          Am         D
He means well, saying, I've got stories
   G       Em           Am        D
Of wine, superb, and of course my childhood
G         Em            Am       D
Forks and knives, and a hospital bed
      G           Em   Am       D    (G)
Where I turned my life over and over again
