[Intro] C  G  D
        C  G  D  G

[First Part]

   G               D            
Couldn't have ever dawned on me, all
Em
 the things that
C            G               D  
I would be I, I never really 
                   C
looked out quite that far
G                   D          
It's never been a simple thing, to 
Em
see the world with a
C                      G         
Young man’s brain, with an old 
    D                 C
man’s heart, a restless soul

[Second Part]

         G                      
Yeah, my family went broke in my 
 D
eighteenth year
Em                  C            
Dad took a job many miles from 
       G
here that
G                   D             
That was alright by me I was on my 
 C
own
        G                  D
I had a band, found a job, life was 
alright
  Em                       C      
I worked when I had to, we played 
                  G
all the time, Only
G                D          
Got through that first year of 
           C
college alright

[Chorus]

C
But I learned more on the freight 
docks
        G                          
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock 
D
AM shift
Continues after the ad
                    G
In the winter time, man it got cold
        C
Selling guitars on the west coast
      G                     D
Going hungry, chasin' ghost around
                    G
And around we would go
             C
And I saw it all tendin' bar at 
night
G
Treatin' saints and sinners right
          D                   G
Is a good thing to do all the time
          C
You never know who you’re talking’ 
to
    G
But always know who’s watching you
          D                        
Keep your feet movin' straight down
     G
 the line

[Third Part]

     G              D              
I've known a lot of real good men, 
Em
grad school or no school
     C                        G
I've called em' my friends I'm
    G                D         
I'm somewhere in the middle, and 
              C
that's just fine
      G                         
No, I don't give a damn how much 
 D
money you make
        Em                         
If your last shirt has pockets, 
  C                   G
take all you can take I'm
          G              D     
Well, I'm goin' out with nothin' 
              C
like I came in

[Chorus]

C
And I learned more on the freight 
docks
        G                          
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock

     C
 the line
G                D             G
Somewhere in the middle's just 
    C
fine
G                D             G
Somewhere in the middle's just fine
