G5   E5        A5            D5       G5
  Uptown, the street's in a calming way
    E5         A5        D5          G5
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid
      E5        A5      D5         G5
And I find it's all our waves and raves
     E5        A5      D5       G5
That makes the days go on this way

G5   E5        A5  D5        G5
  I heard the sad sound of words
   E5           A5        D5        G5
Spoken from the beak of a wise old bird
  E5        A5          D5      G5
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat
  E5         A5     D5    G5
A girl never leaves me alone

  He means well, saying,
         D5          G5        E5
I've got stories of wine, superb
    A5           D5          G5         E5
And of course my childhood, forks and knives
      A5       D5          G5           E5   A5       D5      G5
And a hospital bed, where I turned my life over and over again
