Intro: Dm F
Dm
The streets are lined with people
F
People who want to move, move, move
Dm
How can all these people
F
Have so much to prove, prove, prove
Dm
Oh I can only ask myself
F
Oh where are you all going?
Gm
And won't you take me with you to
Bb
Where all the sirens are blowing?
(Chorus:)
Dm Bb
Uptight Downtown
Gm
Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
C Dm
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Dm Bb
Uptight Downtown
Gm
Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
C Dm
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
( Dm F )
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?
Dm
Oh I can only ask myself
F
Oh where are you all going?
Gm
And won't you take me with you to
Bb
Where all the sirens are blowing?
(Chorus)

Oh but the temperature's rising tonight
(Why are we fighting? I don't understand)

Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
C Dm
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
