In The Middle Chords & Lyrics - Jimmy Needham

[Amaj9]I remember it was later in December when we g[Bsus]ot the call[E]
[Amaj9]Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter from the w[Bsus]eight of it [E]all
[Amaj9]When the news came, for me the hardest [Bsus]part of all[C#m7]
Was to s[F#m7]ee you sitting there so brokenhearted

[Amaj9]I'd forgotten how it felt to hit the bottom when you s[Bsus]uffer pain [E]
[Amaj9]It was like tryin' to run a hundred miles in the [Bsus]pourin' rai[E]n
[Amaj9]But the truth is not even storms can ki[Bsus]ll this fla[C#m7]me
My [F#m7]promise to you al[Eadd9/G#]ways remains[Aadd9] [Bsus]

[|CHORUS|]
[E]In the middle of the cold, dark night[F#m7] In the middle it'll be all right
[Aadd9]I will be there, I[Bsus] will be there
[C#m7]And if pain is the oc[F#7]ean you are swimmin' in
[Aadd9]If I can't pull you out,[Bsus] I'm divin' in

[Amaj9] [Bsus] [E]
[Amaj9] [Bsus] [E]

[|VERSE 2|]
[Amaj9]Never thought I could love anyone the way that [Bsus]I loved you[E]
[Amaj9]And if it took my life I'd fight to prote[Bsus]ct you, too[E]
[Amaj9]But I was helpless and there was nothin[Bsus]g I could d[C#m7]o
So [F#m7]I'll just wrap my[Eadd9/G#] arms around[Aadd9] you and[Bsus] say

[|CHORUS|]

[|BRIDGE|]
[Aadd9] [Bsus]

[C#m7]I believe that G[Aadd9]od was there
[E]Watching o[Bsus]ver us
[C#m7]I believe He hea[Aadd9]rd our prayers
[E]He cried a[Bsus]long with us
[C#m7]Even when our he[Aadd9]arts are scared
[E]He's close[Bsus]r than He seems
[F#m7] And I can [Bsus]hear Him sing

[|CHORUS| X2]

[|OUTRO|]
[Amaj9] [Bsus] I am [E]diving, I am diving in
[Amaj9] [Bsus] [E]
