My uptight life — Teenage Fanclub

My Uptight Life

A section of the song (where the guitar slides up and down the fret board in a weird fashion) is missing, but I reckon these chords are still worthwhile.

The morning sun opens up my eyes (What I see is the same world I know you're seeing) My dreams are real until I realise (Realising's a slow phase from thought to being ) The waking world is full of cynic's sighs I'll stay in bed until I stabilise

I try to write this song To move my life along I know what i dream of I'll save my life for love

Hidden meanings don't need to hide (When I hide from the world, you're the one who'll find me) A dormant scream from the world outside (If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me) If the truth police are sniffing out a lie (I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me) I'll use my life as an alibi

Meaning is something I got from you Whenever I lost the plot you knew What is it I haven't got when I've got you

(repeat)

All my life I've felt so uptight Now its all alright

(repeat to fade)
