The Middle Ground

Gb   Db


[Verse]
               Gb                   Db
You illuminate me, You're the color I see
                       Gb                          Db
You're all that shines above, Through the dark and mistrust
                 Gb                       Db
All the doubt in your eyes, All the stars in the night
                   Gb                      Db
Is it the distance you need, Or is it just me?

Db
I know you're awake, 'cause you shake when you cry
                                         Ab
As long as I wait,, I've got nothing but time


[Chorus]
        Db                  Ab   
Take me in, or just take me out, 
       Gb                  Ebm
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
           Db                                   
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out, 
 Ab                Gb            Db                    Gb   
We're either alive or a lie, I'm done with the middle ground


[Verse]
                      Gb                       Db
You're the wind at my back, You're the courage I lack
                              Gb            Db            Gb
But you live your life like a war, What are you fighting for?
Db
Your touch is the water, that gives and takes away
                                         Ab
So I wait in the gutter, for another rainy day


[Chorus]
        Db                  Ab   
Take me in, or just take me out, 
       Gb                  Ebm
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
           Db                                    
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out, 
 Ab                Gb            Db                    Gb  
We're either alive or a lie, I'm done with the middle ground


[Instrumental]
Db   Fm   Gb   Db   F 


[Verse]
                Db              Gb               Ab                  Fm
You close your eyes to see the sun, And all the things you've never done
                         Gb     Ab                                Fm
They all come out in the dark,      And once again just break your heart
Db
I know you're awake, 'cause you shake when you cry
Ab                  Db                            Ab
I'll hold you, I'll hold you,, But you've got to decide


[Outro]
        Db                   Ab         Gb                     Bbm      Ebm
Take me in, or just take me out, Put me on if you must, or just put me down
              Db                    Ab                Gb
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out, We're either alive or a lie, oh
                                 Db                     Gb
We're either alive or a lie, I'm done with the middle ground.

                   Db                           Gb                           Db
I'm done with the middle ground, I'm done with the middle ground, Done with the middle ground.
                   Gb                          Db           Gb
I'm done with the middle ground, I'm done with the middle ground.
