Jon McLaughlin - The middle

I^F've been around for a ^Glittle over 20 yea^Frs And to ^Fanyone who ^Gneeds advice on getting^F here ^DmDon't ask me, the ^Gpath i took was ^Dmnot exactly ^Gby the ^Ambook, ^Amby the ^Gbook

I was ^Ftoo young to know and^G too dumb to figure^F out That you can^F lose yourself in ^Gall this traveling^F around When you ^Dmreach a point of ^Gno return ^Dmlosing touch with^G lessons ^Amlearned, ^Amlessons l^Gearned

^DmLet me tell you ^Gnow where i went^F wrong ^DmHollywood is ^Gjust another ^Fplace i don't be^Dmlong

Let's go to the ^Fmiddle where time stands ^Gstill Let's get ^Amlost in those^F hills Live a little ^Fcloser to what is ^Gtrue I'll be ^Amme and you be^F you

I'm ^Ffinding out the ^Gways of this ^Fworld Can be ^Fovercome with ^Gone boy's love for ^Fjust one girl And the ^Dmonly way to ^Glove yourself is ^Dmto give your l^Gove to someone e^Amlse, ^Amsomeone ^Gelse

^DmDon't believe ^Gin everything you ^Fhear ^DmGrowing up is ^Gmore than simply ^Fliving through the ^Dmyears

Let's go to the ^Fmiddle where time stands ^Gstill Let's get ^Amlost in those^F hills Live a little ^Fcloser to what is ^Gtrue I'll be ^Amme and you be^F you

I'm disa^Fppointed in myself I ^Dmleft you on a shelf that ^Ami could never reach I ^Ampracticed what you'd ^Falways preached a^Dmgainst But now i'm back in my ^Fdefense That black and white ^Amworld we tried to paint is really ^Ggray

^DmSo it took a little ^Gtime to get this ^Fright ^DmThe guilty and the ^Ginnocent are ^Falways side by ^Dmside

Let's go to the ^Fmiddle where time stands ^Gstill Let's get ^Amlost in those^F hills Live a little ^Fcloser to what is ^Gtrue I'll be ^Amme and you be^F you I'll be ^Amme and you be^F you I'll be ^Amme and you be^F you ^F
