[Verse 1]
Am              F         C
Time to turn an ear to the middle man
Am              F           C
There's another lesson to be learned
Am                F          C
He who laughs the last is the better man
Am             G              Dm              G
A man needs his soul when he's getting burned

[Verse 2]
Am           F           C
I was made to feel like a sinner man
Am            F            C
Left without a hope to do or die
Am          F        C
Only half a chance to begin again
Am               G              Dm           G
A man wants to be alone when he needs to cry

[Chorus]
C                 Am
The first will be last
C                Am
The meek will be strong
C            Am
Does anybody know
Dm                      G
Who is right and who is wrong?
C               Am
I gave it all I had
C          Em
I tried to understand
Dm            G
Pushed it all away
C                    Am
With a sweep from my hand
         C               F          Am
Now it's time to turn an ear to the middle man

[Verse 3]
Am                  F          C
I feel it's time to run to the middle man
Am              F            C
There's another heartache on it's way
Am              F          C
He who takes it all is the better man
Am                 G                Dm        G
A man needs to step aside when he's in the way

[Chorus]
       C                 Am
Oh the first will be last
       C                Am
And the meek will be strong

Does anybody know
Dm                      G
Who is right and who is wrong?
C               Am
I gave it all I had
C          Em
I tried to understand
Dm             G
I pushed it all away
C                    Am
With a sweep from my hand
    Em      F                    C
And now it's time to turn to the middle man

[Bridge]
Am              F            C
There's another lesson to be learned
Am                F          C
He who laughs the last is the better man
