Arthur Alexander - In The Middle Of It All
============================================
No capo
[Verse]
E A
My house is a lonely house (lonely house)
E A
But it once was a happy house (happy house)
E B
And the two of us were happy as I recall (as I recall)
[Chorus]
E C#m
But now the rain falls around it
E C#m
And loneliness surrounds it
A B E B
And I'm in the middle of it all
[Verse]
E A
My friends look at me and say (me and say)
E A
I wonder what made that boy that way (boy that way)
E B
The boy doesn't even smile at all (smile at all)
[Chorus]
E C#m
But I wonder what they would say
E C#m
If their world just came down one day
A B E F#m E7/G#
And they were in the middle of it all
[Bridge]
A E F#m E7/G#
I gave that girl all the love that I had, had to give
A E B
And the love that I gave her was real now, really real
[Verse]
E A
Now I ache, yeah, with heartbreak and pain (heartbreak and pain)
E A
And a hurt that I just can't explain
E B
Yes, it looks like my life is about to fall (about to fall)
[Chorus]
E C#m
But, I built a shell around it
E C#m
But sadness has found it
A B E
And me, I'm in the middle of it all
I will sit right here in the middle
