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 

G   Em        Am  D        G 
  I heard the sad sound of words 
   Em           Am        D        G 
Spoken from the beak of a wise old bird 
  Em        Am          D      G 
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat 
  Em         Am     D    G 
A girl never leaves me alone

G    Em          Am 
  He means well, saying, 
         D          G        Em 
I've got stories of wine, superb 
    Am           D          G         Em 
And of course my childhood, forks and knives 
      Am       D          G           Em   Am       D      G 
And a hospital bed, where I turned my life over and over again
