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)

Why are we fighting?
I don't understand
Bb
Oh but the temperature's rising tonight
(Why are we fighting? I don't understand)
Gm
Oh blue lights fighting with the crowds
C Dm
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
