[Verse 1]
G          C         G
You always wanted to be
             C         G
Part of a circus company
        C                Em   D
For the fun and death defying
G       C           G
But in time you forgot 
          C                G
life is small in the big top
          C                 Em     D
And your dreams were slowly dying

[Pre-Chorus]

Em        C    G D
What you wanted  
              Em
was not a crime
               C   
You could've done it

[Chorus]

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                 G
A little in the middle
                 D                        G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
               C
It keeps your head from spinning round

[Verse 2]
G         C           G
Jugglers walk on the wire
       C                    G
Lions leap through hoops of fire
       C             Em     D
As the acrobats go flying
G                C         G
But what's the show all about
                C                  G
When did your north get turned to south
          C            Em     D
And the truth turn to lying

[Pre-Chorus]

Em        C    G D
What you wanted  
              Em
was not a crime
               C   
You could've done it but you needed time

[Chorus]

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                 G
A little in the middle
                 D                        G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
               C
It keeps your head from spinning round

G D Em C 


[Pre-Chorus]

Em           C 
But it's a hole you're digging
   G                           D          Em
A hole you're digging you're doing it despite
Em           C 
The so much more you're missing
 G                           D                G
More you're missing to your left and to your right


[Chorus]

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                 G
A little in the middle
                 D                        G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
