[Intro]  F  C/E  Dm  Dm/C  A#  F/A  G7/4  C7 

F                     C/E
   I've had enough of danger
Dm                    Dm/C
   And people on the streets
A#                      F/A
   I'm looking out for angels
G7/4                        C7
   Just trying to find some peace
F                   C/E
   Now I think it's time
C#º                Dm    Dm/C
   That you let me know
A#                    F/A
   So if you love me,   say you love me
G7/4                     C7
   But if you don't just let me go
F              C/E
   'Cos teacher    there are things
Dm                      Dm/C
   That I don't want to learn and
A#                 F/A         G7/4   C7
   The last one I had made me cry
                            F
   So I don't want to learn to
                       C/E   C#º
   Hold you, touch you....
                     Dm     Dm/C
   Think that you're mine
              A#             F/A
   Because it ain't no joy
          G7/B
   For an uptown boy
         A#                         F
   Whose teacher has told him good-bye, 
      A#/F       F
good-bye, good-bye
                         C/E
   When you were just a stranger
Dm                    Dm/C
   And I just at your feet
A#                    F/A
   I didn't feel the danger
   G7/4           C7
   Now I feel the heat
F                    C/E
   That look in your eyes
C#º           Dm   Dm/C
   Telling me no
          A#
   So you think that you love me
   F/A
   Know that you need me
G7/4
   I wrote the song
   I know it's wrong
   C7
   Just let me go...
F              C/E
   And teacher...there are things
Dm                      Dm/C
   That I don't want to learn and
A#                 F/A         G7/4   C7
   The last one I had made me cry
                            F
   So I don't want to learn to
                       C/E   C#º
   Hold you, touch you
                     Dm     Dm/C
   Think that you're mine
              A#             F/A
   Because it ain't no joy
          G7/B
   For an uptown boy

  A#                         F
   Whose teacher has told him good-bye, 
      A#/F       F
good-bye, good-bye

( F  C/E  Dm  Dm/C  A#  F/A  G7/4  C7 )
( F  C/E  Dm  Dm/C  A#  F/A  G7/4  C7 )

            A#                    F/A
So when you say that you need me
                            G7/4
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong
C7
Let me go
F             C/E
  And teacher...There are things
Dm                   Dm/C
That I still have to learn
A#                 F/A         G7/4   C7
But the one thing I have is my pride
                             F
Oh so I don't want to learn to
                  C/E   C#º
Hold you, touch you
                   Dm     Dm/C
Think that you're mine
               A#            F/A
Because there ain't no joy
       G7/B
For an uptown boy
    A#                     F
Who just isn't willing to try
       A#/F    F
I'm so cold inside
A#/F                 F
Maybe just one more try
