Lyrics
(D)Pressure pushing (A)down on me,
pressing (G)down on you.
No man ask (A)for.
Under (D)pressure that burns a (A)building down,
splits a (G)fam'ly in two, puts (A)people on streets.
(A)(That's okay.)
It's the (G)terror of knowing what this (A)world is about,
(Gsus2)watching some (G)good friends (A)screaming, "Let me out."
Pray (G)tomorrow gets me (A)higher.
Pressure (D)on people, people (G)on the (A)streets.
Ooh, (D5)daydayday.
(D5)That's okay.
(D)Chippin' around to kick my (A)brains on the floor.
(G)These are the days it never (A)rains,
but it pours.
Hello!
(D)People on the streets,
(A)ehdeleedaday. Oh, (G)people on the streets,
(A)Heedadeedahdeedahdeedah. It's the (G)terror of knowing what this (A)world is about,
(Gsus2)watching some (G)good friends (A)screaming, "Let me out."
Pray (Gsus2)(G)tomorrow gets me (A)higher, higher.
Pressure, (D)pressure people (G)on the (A)streets.
Turn (G)away from it all, like a (C)blind man.
(G)Sat on a fence, but it (C)don't work.
Keep (G)coming up with love, but it's so (C)scratched and torn.
Why,
(F)why, (G)why?
(A)In sanity laughs under (G)pressure;
we're cracking.
can't we (D)give ourselves one more (Bm)chance?
(A)Why (G)can't we (D)give love that one more (G)chance?
Why can't we (D)give love (give love),
(G)give love (A)(give love), (D)give love (give love),
(A)give love (give love)?
'Cause (Bm)love's such an (A)old fashioned (D)word,
and love (A)dares you to (G6)care for the (A)people on the (D)edge of the (F#m)night.
And love (G)dares you to (A)change our way of (G)caring (A)about ourselves.
(G)This is our (A)last chance;
(D)this is (G)ourselves.
(A)Under (D)pressure.
