[Verse 1]

F                       C
I've had enough of danger
Dm                      F
And people on the streets
Bb                      F
I'm looking out for angels
Gm                      C
Just trying to find some peace
F                       C
Now I think it's time
A                    Dm
That you let me know
Bb
So if you love me
F
Say you love me
G                       C
But if you don't just let me go...


[Chorus]

F               C
'cos teacher
                        Dm                          F
There are things that I don't want to learn
Bb                      F
And the last one I had
     C
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
F                   C     A         Dm
Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu
                            Bb
Think that you're mine
    Dm                    Bb
Because it ain't no joy
Dm
For an uptown boy
C
Whose teacher has told him
F             C            Dm              Bb
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


[Verse 2]

F                          C
When you were just a stranger
     Dm                 F
And I was at your feet
Bb                  F
I didn't feel the danger
G                C
Now I feel the heat
F                    C
That look in your eyes
A            Dm
Telling me no
Bb
So you think that you love me
F
Know that you need me
G                       
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
C
Just let me go...


[Chorus]

F               C
And teacher
                          Dm
There are things
                        F
That I don't want to learn
Bb                    F
Oh the last one I had
       C
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
F                   C     A        Dm
Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu
                        Bb
Think that you're mine
      Dm                Bb
Because it ain't no joy
                Dm
For an uptown boy
C                       F               C
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, 
           Dm 
Goodbye

[Bridge]

Bb                                      F
So when you say that you need me
Dm
That you'll never leave me
             Bb
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
               C
Let me go 


[Chorus]

F               C
And teacher
             Dm
There are things
                      F
That I still have to learn
Bb                      F                 C
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to 
                                A       Dm
Hold you, touch you...oooooooouuuuu
                            Bb
Think that you're mine
             Dm                 Bb
Because there ain't no joy
            Dm
For an uptown boy
C                               F
Who just isn't willing to try
C
I'm so cold
Dm
Inside
Bb              C               F
Maybe just one more try...
