[F] [C/E] [Dm] [Dm/C] [A#] [F/A] [G7/B] [C7]
[F] I've had enough of [C/E]danger
[Dm] And people on the s[Dm/C]streets
[A#] I'm looking out for a[F/A]angels
[G7/B] Just trying to find some [C7]peace
[F] Now I think it's [C/E]time
[C#º] That you let me [Dm]know [Dm/C]
[A#] So if you love me, [F/A] say you love me
[G7/B] But if you don't just [C7]let me go
[F] 'Cos teacher[C/E]teacher there are things
[Dm] That I don't want to [Dm/C]learn and
[A#] The last one I h[F/A]had made me c[G7/B]cry [C7]
So I don't want to learn [F]to
Hold you, touch you.[C/E]you.... [C#]
Think that you're [Dm]mine [Dm/C]
Because it [A#]ain't no joy [F/A]
For an [G7/B]uptown boy
Whose [A#]teacher has told him good-b[F]good-bye,
good-b[A#/F]good-bye, good-by[F]good-bye
When you were just a s[C/E]stranger
[Dm] And I just at your [Dm/C]feet
[A#] I didn't feel the d[F/A]danger
[G7/B]Now I feel the [C7]heat
[F] That look in your [C/E]eyes
[C#] Telling me [Dm]no [Dm/C]
So you [A#]think that you love me
[F/A]Know that you need me
[G7/B] I wrote the song
I know it's wrong
[C7]Just let me go...
[F] And teacher.[C/E]teacher...there are things
[Dm] That I don't want to [Dm/C]learn and
[A#] The last one I h[F/A]had made me c[G7/B]cry [C7]
So I don't want to learn [F]to
Hold you, touch you [C/E] [C#º]
Think that you're [Dm]mine [Dm/C]
Because it [A#]ain't no joy [F/A]
For an [G7/B]uptown boy
[A#] Whose teacher has told him[F]him good-bye,
good-b[A#/F]good-bye, good-by[F]good-bye
[F] [C/E] [Dm] [Dm/C] [A#] [F/A] [G7/B] [C7]
[F] [C/E] [Dm] [Dm/C] [A#] [F/A] [G7/B] [C7]
So when you [A#]say that you need me [F/A]
That you'll never leave me [G7/B]
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong
[C7]Let me go
[F] And teacher.[C/E]teacher...There are things
[Dm]That I still have to [Dm/C]learn
[A#]But the one thing I[F/A]I have is my [G7/B]pride [C7]
Oh so I don't want to learn t[F]to
Hold you, touch yo[C/E]you [C#]
Think that you're m[Dm]mine [Dm/C]
Because there a[A#]ain't no joy [F/A]
For an [G7/B]uptown boy
Who [A#]just isn't willing to t[F]try
I'm so [A#/F]cold ins[F]inside
[A#/F]Maybe just one more t[F]try
