To do the Intro chords and the end of the chorus,
Best to use barre chords and itâ??s almost a slide to
The G.
Intro:
[F] [G] [F] [G] [F] [G] [F] [G]
Livinâ?[G]? right the way we see it though itâ??s seldom s[F]een[G]
[G]Bleeding from our hands just to grease the machine[F] [G]
[G]Sometimes there ainâ??t jack to do in this town[F] [G]
[G]Go out and let the cops chase you around
[D]This ainâ??t New York, this ainâ??t LA
Itâ??[Cadd9]s somewhere in the middle of the USA[F] [G]
Thereâ??s no greener grass as far as I can see
When the manâ??s tired of giving you the first degree
No better place to string up some fence
To tear down the walls and to knock out the dents
If the only thing working is an 8 hour day
Is somewhere in the middle of the USA
Chorus:
[D]Somewhere in the middle somewhere in between
The [G]center of the fringes of a rebels dream
[D]No other place Iâ??d rather be found
Itâ??[G]s probably where theyâ??ll plant me in the ground
[D]Some people leave but most of them stay
In the [Cadd9]middle of the USA[F] [G]
People workinâ?? for the kitty, trying to buy â??em a hound
It slipped and got away, now itâ??s back at the pound
Everything weâ??re doin is already done
Now some p**sed off kids are gonna have some fun
Bite our tongue, thereâ??s nothing to say
Somewhere in the middle of the USA
Thereâ??s no need to fix it, if it ainâ??t broke
They preach the perfect life and itâ??s a dirty joke
And we all know itâ??s just a roll of the dice
They try to sell it to you but they wonâ??t say the price
This ainâ??t New York, this ainâ??t LA
Itâ??s somewhere in the middle of the USA
