Uptown girl
F#m7                      E/G#
She's been living in her white bread world
A          A/B          E

And when she's walking, she's looking so fine
And when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love with an

E
Uptown girl
F#m7      E/G#
