Chorus:
Gm           C     C#dim7 Dm           Am 
You've only had to run so far, so good
A#             F        G7
But you will come to a place
           A7    A7       Dm
Where the only thing you feel
     Am    A#            F 
Are loaded guns in your face

You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you can not avoid
Pressure

Chorus:
You turned the tap dance
Into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
Pressure

G                 Dmaj7  
All grown up and no place to go
G                  Dmaj7  
Psych 1, Psych 2, what do you know?
F                 Cmaj7 
All your life is channel 13
 Cm7             G           D
Sesame Street, what does it mean?

 C  D   C D G D
Pressure
 C  D   C D
Pressure

Don't ask for help, you're all alone
Pressure
You'll have to answer to your own
Pressure

Chorus:
I'm sure you'll have
Some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure

All your life is Time Magazine
I read it, too
What does it mean?
Pressure

Chorus:
I'm sure you'll have
Some cosmic rationale
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
Pressure

Pressure, pressure
One, two, three, four, pressure!
