         G7 G6 Cm/G G

      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...
