      G7              G6 
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting 
     Cm/G                   G 
The smell of the warm summer air 
                             G6 
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing 
Cm/G                        G 
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement 
 
Up above aliens hover 
 
Making home movies for the folks back home 
 
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits 
 
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets 
 
           F       C 
They're all uptight... 
       G  F 
Uptight... 
       C 
Uptight... 
       G 
Uptight... 
 
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane 
Late at night when I'm driving 
Take me on board their beautiful ship 
Show me the world as I'd love to see it 
 
I'd tell all my friends, but they'd never believe 
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely 
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life 
They'd shut me away, but I'd be all right, all right... 
 
I'm just uptight 
Uptight... 
Uptight... 
Uptight...
