D                A/D
Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for
      D                       A/C#
Under pressure - that burns a building down
         G/B
Splits a family in two
     A              
Puts people on streets

D                  A/C#
Boom boom bah bay, boom boom bah bay
   G/B              A
De doh dah, that's okay

         G
It's the terror of knowing 
          A7
What this world is about
G
Watching some good friends
A7
Screaming let me out
     G                  A7
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
         D                  G   A
Pressure on people - people on streets
D
Do do do bah bah bah bah. O-kay!


D                A/D
Chippin' around, kick my brains round the floor
G/D                    A/D
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
D                A/C#
De doh dah dah, de doh dah dah
G/B               A 
mm dah doh, ba ba bop
D                         A/C#
People on streets deh dah de dah day
G/B                       A
People on streets deh dah de dah de dah de dah de dah

         G
It's the terror of knowing
          A7
What this world is about
G
Watching some good friends
A7
Screaming let me out!
G                      A7
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
         D                  G   A
Pressure on people - people on streets

        G
Turned away from it all
       C
Like a blind man
G                     C
Sat on a fence but it don't work
G
Keep coming up with love
            C
But it's so slashed and torn
Am  F   G    F   G   
Why why why?
Am
Love love love love
A                   
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
G        D                          G    A
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
G            D                         G     A
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
G            D                   G         A
Why can't we give love give love give love give love?
      G              A             D
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
         A            G
And love dares you to care
    A             D           A
For people on the edge of the night
         G            A
And love dares you to change our way
   G       A     
Of caring about ourselves
G           A
This is our last dance
D          G   A        D
This is ourselves under pressure
                  G  A
Under pressure  
D                G  A
pressure
