[Intro]
F C Dm F Bb F G C
[Verse 1]
F C
I've had enough of danger
Dm F
And people on the streets
Bb F
I'm looking out for angels
Gm C
Just trying to find some peace
F C
Now I think it's time
C#m Dm
That you let me know
Bb
So if you love me
F
Say you love me
G C
But if you don't just let me go...
[Chorus]
F C
'cos teacher
Dm F
There are things that I don't want to learn
Bb F
And the last one I had
C
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
F C C#m Dm
Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu
Bb
Think that you're mine
Dm Bb
Because it ain't no joy
Dm
For an uptown boy
C
Whose teacher has told him
F C Dm Bb
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
F C
When you were just a stranger
Dm F
And I was at your feet
Bb F
I didn't feel the danger
G C
Now I feel the heat
F C
That look in your eyes
C#m Dm
Telling me no
Bb
So you think that you love me
F
Know that you need me
G
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
C
Just let me go...
[Chorus]
F C
And teacher
Dm
There are things
F
That I don't want to learn
Bb F
Oh the last one I had
C
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
F C C#m Dm
Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu
Bb
Think that you're mine
Dm Bb
Because it ain't no joy
Dm
For an uptown boy
C F C
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye,
Dm
Goodbye
[Break]
F Bb F G C
F C C#m Dm
[Bridge]
Bb F
So when you say that you need me
Dm
That you'll never leave me
Bb
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
C
Let me go
[Chorus]
F C
And teacher
Dm
There are things
F
That I still have to learn
Bb F C
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to
F C C#m Dm
Hold you, touch you...oooooooouuuuu
Bb
Think that you're mine
Dm Bb
Because there ain't no joy
Dm
For an uptown boy
C F
Who just isn't willing to try
C
I'm so cold
Dm
Inside
Bb C F
Maybe just one more try...
