Lyrics

You have to learn to pace yourself.

(C)(D)Pressure! (G)You're just like ev'rybody else.

(C)(D)Pressure! (Gm)You've only had to run,

so (Dm)far so good.

(Bb)But you will (F)come to a place where the only thing you feel are (Am)(Dm)loaded (Bb)guns in your (F)face,

and you'll (A7)have to deal with (Dm)pressure.

(G)You used to call me paranoid.

(C)(D)Pressure! (G)But even you cannot avoid

(C)(D)pressure. (Gm)You turned the tap dance into (Dm)your crusade.

(Bb)Now here you (F)are with your faith and your Peter Pan advice.

You (Am)have (Dm)no (Bb)scars on your (F)face,

and you (A7)cannot handle (Dm)(Gm6)pressure.

(G)All grown up and (Dmaj7)no place to go.

(G)Psych One, Psych

Two, (Dmaj7)what do you know?

(F)All your life is

(Cmaj7)Channel Thirteen, (Cm)Sesame Street.

(G)What does it (D)mean?

(C)(D)Pressure!

(C)(D)Pressure!

Pressure! (G)I'm (Gm)sure you'll (C)have some (C#dim7)cosmic (Dm)rationale.

(Bb)But here you (F)are with your (G7)faith and your (A7)Peter Pan (Dm)advice.

You (Am)have (Dm)no (Bb)scars on your (F)face,

and you cannot (A7)handle (Dm)Pressure!

(Dm)Pressure!

(A7)Pressure!

(A7)One, two, (Dm)three, four, pressure!
