Intro: | Am G C F | F F F G | Am G C G | F F F G | x2 (repeated for most of the song)
Am G C F G I tied your shoes while you sat and watched the rain
Am G C G F G Hands folded across your lap, and the dull look of peace across your face
Am G C F G Mom down the hall Bible pressed to her chest
Am G C G F When she swore the Devil hides in everything, and her room was the only safe haven left
G C She watched us grow through window panes
F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
G Something's in the way
Am G C G You held my hand while the wind whistled nocturnes in the dark

F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
G Something's in the way
Am G C Never knew what it meant to be whole and free
F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
F Something in the middle
G Something's in the way
Am G C G F Neither one of them mocks if we steer from paths only they can see
G C But sink or swim is all they'd say
Am G C F G Your hand rode the wind out the window of the train
Am G C G F G We slept in our seats with our knees curled beneath our dirty chins
Am G C F G Dad gripped the bags like they might fly away
Am G C G F And the scenery beyond the glass was liquid, we sat and soaked it in
G C I felt your breath along the way
Am G C F G I'd hold your hand when the sky fell apart
Am G C G F G And you would hold my hand if you felt me slipping back into the dark
Am G C F G I can't tell from the ground if the sky will fall
Am G C G F I can't tell from the sky if there's anybody down there at all
G C It's empty inns and empty plates
