verse 1
A Gmaj7
Well the comedown here was easy
A
Like the arrival of a new day
Gmaj7
But a dream like this gets wasted without you
[Refrão]
A Gmaj7
Under the pressure is where we are
A Gmaj7
Under the pressure, yeah it's where we are babe
verse 2
A Gmaj7
Holding over like an illusion
A
When it all breaks down and we're runaways
Standing in the wake of our pain
Gmaj7
And we stare straight into nothin'
But we're covered all the same
A
You were raised on a promise
Gmaj7
To find out over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here
Chorus
A
Under the pressure
Instrumental BREAK
First, play the same way you did before. But, when the solo ends and the drum stops,
use these chords:

verse 3
A Bm
River break down here
A Bm G
Stolen away up top
Bm G
I wanna climb down the river
Bm
Staying alone
A Bm
When you come here and rested (?)
A
Lying in a ditch
Bm
Pissing in the wind
G
Lying on my back
Bm
Loosening my grip
Wading in the water
Just trying not to crack
Chorus
A Bm
Under the pressure
G
That's where we are babe
