Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][F]
[C][G][F]
[Am][G][Am]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Set the wheels in [C]motion,
[Dm][G]
and [Dm]watch them turning [F]round[C]
I want to sail across the ocean,
I've grown weary of this [F]town

[Chorus 1]
Take the [C]pressure [G]down[F]
Cause I can [C]feel it, it's [G]rising like a [F]storm
[Am]Take hold of the wheel[G]s
and [Am]turn them around
Take the [G]pressure down

[Verse 2]
In this [Am]city full of [C]danger,
[Dm][G]
we [Dm]lead our separate [F]lives[C]
And I was frightened by a stranger,
with desperation in her [F]eyes

[Chorus 2]
Take the [C]pressure [G]down[F]
Cause I can [C]feel it, it's [G]rising like a [F]storm
[Am]Take hold of the wheel[G]s
and [Am]turn them around
Take the [G]pressure down

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Someone turned the [F]pressure on
[C][G]
I called your [Em]name and [F]you were gone
[C][G]
And I was [Em]trapped like a [F]prisoner
in this [C]lonely [G]town
I'm gonna let things slide,

[Solo 1]
until the pressure comes
[C](down)[G][F]
[C][G][F]
[Am][G][Am]
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
Oh the [Am]winner tells his [C]story,
[Dm][G]
the [Dm]loser hides in [F]shame[C]
The winner steals the glory,
while the loser takes the [F]pain

[Chorus 3]
Take the [C]pressure [G]down[F]
Cause I can [C]feel it, it's [G]rising like a [F]storm
[Am]Take hold of the wheel[G]s
and [Am]turn them around
Take the [G]pressure down
[Repeat and fade]
