-----(capo 2nd fret)-----  

Intro - G - D - G - D - 4x's



(verse 1)
G   D                 G      D
For years she's lived on her own,
C    D       C     D
In a corner of the city,
G       D         G        D
Twice a year she gets back home,
C       D         C          D
Playing catch up with the family,


(verse 2)
G   D                          G
She tells her folks what they 
      D
need to know,
C    D                 C        D
Her mother says she's much too thin,
G       D         G        D
Her sisters ask about her beau,
C       D          C             
Her dad inquires, how's business 
 D
been,



(bridge)

C           D           G      C
She's thirty three this time around,

             D         G     
She's always been real good at 
     C
listening,
              D           G       
Her sense of humor never lets her 
  C
down,

           Em            C      D
Except sometimes there's something 
missing,


(chorus)
G  Am   D            G   Am   
Hey,  middle ground, a place 
       D
between up and down,
G    Am       D              G 
She could be safe and sound, 
     Am   C        D
oh, to know middle ground,

D)


(verse 3)
For years she's been on her guard
She's kind of tense around the 
shoulders
She wonders why she works so hard
She counts the days 'til they 
promote her


(verse 4)
She'll take a weekend now and then
To stay in bed and watch the reruns
She'll turn the phone off when guilt
 sets in
But Sunday always kinda leaves her 
let down


(chorus)
G  Am   D            G   Am   
Hey,  middle ground, a place 
       D
between up and down,
G    Am       D              G 
She could be safe and sound, 
     Am   C        D
oh, to know middle ground,


(bridge)

F                   C       C
She gave her heart away one time,
    D               G    D    
and says that she hasn't seen it 
    G
since,
F          F       C      C   A
  Love's a puzzle in her mind,
                       C         
the pieces match, but don't quite 
  C
fit, hey,

(verse 5)
And these days run thick or thin,
It never rains, or else it's 
pouring,
All her single friends are men,
She thinks married girls are so damn
 boring,

(chorus)
G  Am   D            G   Am   
Hey,  middle ground, a place 
       D
between up and down,
G    Am       D              G 
She could be safe and sound, 
     Am   C        D
oh, to know middle ground,
G  Am   D            G   Am   
Hey,  middle ground, a place 
       D
between up and down,
G    Am       D              G 
She could be safe and sound, 
     Am   C        D
oh, to know middle ground,
G       Am  C        D      G  
Oh, to know middle ground, oh, 
    Am  C        D
to know middle ground,
