[Verse 1]
D
Pressure
        A
Pushing down on me
         G
Pressing down on you
           A
No man ask for
      D
Under pressure
             A
That burns a building down
         G
Splits a family in two
     A
Puts people on streets

[Bridge]
D
Um ba ba bay
A
Um ba ba bay
G
Dee day duh
A
Ee day duh

[Verse 2]
           G
It's the terror of knowing
                A
What this world is about
    G
Watching some good friends
                A
Screaming let me out!
     G                  A
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
D
Pressure on people
       G       A
People on streets

[Verse 3]
D
 Chippin' around
          A
I kick my brains round the floor
G
 These are the days
         A
It never rains but it pours
D
Ee do bay bup
A
Ee do bay ba bup
G
Ee do bup
A
Bay bup
D
People on streets
       A
Dee da dee da day
G
People on streets
       A
Dee da dee da dee da dee da

[Verse 4]
         G
It's the terror of knowing
          A
What this world is about
G
Watching some good friend
       A
Scream let me out!
       G
Pray tomorrow
         A
takes me high high higher
D
Pressure on people
G       A
People on streets

G
Turned away from it all
         C
Like the blind man
G                      C
 Sat on a fence but it don't work

[Verse 5]
     G
Keep coming up with love
            A
But it's so slashed and torn
C   F
Why?
   G  F
Why?
A
LoveLoveLove!
  A
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

[Verse 6]
         D              G        A
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
             D              G        A
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
             D         A         D          A
Why can't we give love give love give love?
G         A         D         A         G         A
Give love give love give love give love give love give love?

[Verse 7]
      G              A             D
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
         A            G
And love dares you to care
        A             D           A
For the people on the edge of the night
         G            A
And love dares you to change our way
   D        A
Of caring about ourselves
G           A
This is our last dance
G           A
This is our last chance
D    G     A
This is ourselves
