The Middle Chords & Lyrics - Jon Mclaughlin

Capo 4

Intro: [G] , [D] , [C] 2x

[VERSE 1]
I[G]'ve been around for a [D]little over 20 yea[C]rs
And to [G]anyone who [D]needs advice on getting[C] here
[Am]Don't ask me, the [D]path i took was [Am]not exactly [D]by the [Em]book, [Em]by the [D]book

I was [G]too young to know and[D] too dumb to figure[C] out
That you can[G] lose yourself in [D]all this traveling[C] around
When you [Am]reach a point of [D]no return [Am]losing touch with[D] lessons [Em]learned,
[Em]lessons l[D]earned

[Am]Let me tell you [D]now where i went[G] wrong
[Am]Hollywood is [D]just another [G]place i don't be[Am]long

[CHORUS]
Let's go to the [G]middle where time stands [D]still
Let's get [Em]lost in those[C] hills
Live a little [G]closer to what is [D]true
I'll be [Em]me and you be[C] you

[G] , [D] , [C] 2x

[VERSE 2]
I'm [G]finding out the [D]ways of this [C]world
Can be [G]overcome with [D]one boy's love for [C]just one girl
And the [Am]only way to [D]love yourself is [Am]to give your l[D]ove to someone e[Em]lse,
[Em]someone [D]else

[Am]Don't believe [D]in everything you [G]hear
[Am]Growing up is [D]more than simply [G]living through the [Am]years

[CHORUS]
Let's go to the [G]middle where time stands [D]still
Let's get [Em]lost in those[C] hills
Live a little [G]closer to what is [D]true
I'll be [Em]me and you be[C] you

[BRIDGE]
I'm disa[C]ppointed in myself
I [Am]left you on a shelf that [Em]i could never reach
I [Em]practiced what you'd [C]always preached a[Am]gainst
But now i'm back in my [C]defense
That black and white [Em]world we tried to paint is really [D]gray

[Am]So it took a little [D]time to get this [G]right
[Am]The guilty and the [D]innocent are [G]always side by [Am]side

[CHORUS]
Let's go to the [G]middle where time stands [D]still
Let's get [Em]lost in those[C] hills
Live a little [G]closer to what is [D]true
I'll be [Em]me and you be[C] you
I'll be [Em]me and you be[C] you
I'll be [Em]me and you be[C] you [G]
