[Intro 1]
[Dm][Ab]
[D][D][C#]
[G][G][Cm][G]
[G][G][Cm][G]

[Verse 1]
The [G]breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The [Cm]smell of the warm summer [G]air
I [G]live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
[Cm]You watch your feet
For [G]cracks in the pavement

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][Cm][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Up above
Aliens hover
Making [Cm]home movies
For the [G]folks back home
Of [G]all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill [Cm]holes in themselves
And [G]live for their secrets

[Interlude 2]
[G][G][Cm][G]

[Chorus 1]
They're [F]all
Up[C]tight, up[G]tight
[F]Uptig[C]ht, uptig[G]ht
[F]Uptig[C]ht,

[Interlude 3]
[G](uptight)[G][Cm][G]
[G][G][Cm][G][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]I wish that they'd swoop down
in a country lane
[Cm]Late at night when I'm drivi[G]ng
[G]Take me on board their beautiful ship
[Cm]Show me the world as I'd l[G]ove to see

[Interlude 4]
[G](it[G])[Cm][G]

[Verse 4]
I'd [G]tell all my friends
but they'd never believe me
They'd [Cm]think that I'd finally
[G]lost it completely
I'd [G]show them the stars
and the meaning of life
They'd [Cm]shut me away
But I'd be

[Interlude 5]
[G](alright) [G]Alr[Cm]ight[G]
I'm [G]alright [G]Alr[Cm]ight[G]

[Chorus 2]
I'm [F]just
Up[C]tight, up[G]tight

[F]Uptig[C]ht,
