Pressure
         A
Pushing down on me
          G
Pressing down on you
            A
No man ask for
        D
Under pressure
               A  
That burns a building down
           G 
Splits a family in two
      A
Puts people on streets

D
Um ba ba bay
A
Um ba ba bay
G
Dee day duh
A
Ee day duh

Chorus:
          G
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
          D  
Pressure on people
       G     A
People on streets

Day day day
da da dup bup bup
Okay

Chipping around,
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da

Chorus

         G
Turned away from it all
           Em
Like the blind man
G                      Em
Sat on a fence but it don't work

      G
Keep coming up with love
              A
But it's so slashed and torn
   F
Why?
   G  F
Why?
 A
LoveLoveLove!
   A
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

          D             G          A
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
              D             G          A
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
              D         A         D    A
Why can't we give love give love give love?
 G         A         D         A         G         A
Give love give love give love give love give love give love?

       G             A             D
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
          A            G
And love dares you to care
         A            D            A
For the people on the edge of the night
          G             A
And love dares you to change our way
    D       A
Of caring about ourselves
  G          A
This is our last dance
  G          A
This is our last chance
  D         G  A
This is ourselves
        D
