Jon McLaughlin - The middle

I^G've been around for a ^Dlittle over 20 yea^Crs And to ^Ganyone who ^Dneeds advice on getting^C here ^AmDon't ask me, the ^Dpath i took was ^Amnot exactly ^Dby the ^Embook, ^Emby the ^Dbook

I was ^Gtoo young to know and^D too dumb to figure^C out That you can^G lose yourself in ^Dall this traveling^C around When you ^Amreach a point of ^Dno return ^Amlosing touch with^D lessons ^Emlearned, ^Emlessons l^Dearned

^AmLet me tell you ^Dnow where i went^G wrong ^AmHollywood is ^Djust another ^Gplace i don't be^Amlong

Let's go to the ^Gmiddle where time stands ^Dstill Let's get ^Emlost in those^C hills Live a little ^Gcloser to what is ^Dtrue I'll be ^Emme and you be^C you

I'm ^Gfinding out the ^Dways of this ^Cworld Can be ^Govercome with ^Done boy's love for ^Cjust one girl And the ^Amonly way to ^Dlove yourself is ^Amto give your l^Dove to someone e^Emlse, ^Emsomeone ^Delse

^AmDon't believe ^Din everything you ^Ghear ^AmGrowing up is ^Dmore than simply ^Gliving through the ^Amyears

Let's go to the ^Gmiddle where time stands ^Dstill Let's get ^Emlost in those^C hills Live a little ^Gcloser to what is ^Dtrue I'll be ^Emme and you be^C you

I'm disa^Cppointed in myself I ^Amleft you on a shelf that ^Emi could never reach I ^Empracticed what you'd ^Calways preached a^Amgainst But now i'm back in my ^Cdefense That black and white ^Emworld we tried to paint is really ^Dgray

^AmSo it took a little ^Dtime to get this ^Gright ^AmThe guilty and the ^Dinnocent are ^Galways side by ^Amside

Let's go to the ^Gmiddle where time stands ^Dstill Let's get ^Emlost in those^C hills Live a little ^Gcloser to what is ^Dtrue I'll be ^Emme and you be^C you I'll be ^Emme and you be^C you I'll be ^Emme and you be^C you ^G
