[Intro] A G E x2 A G D C x4 A G D C The middle of the road is trying to find me A G D C I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me A G D C Well I got a smile for everyone I meet A G D C As long as you don't try dragging my bay A G D C Or dropping the bomb on my street A G E Now come on baby A G E Get in the road A G E Oh come on now A G E In the middle of the road, yeah A G D C In the middle of the road you see the darndest things A g D C Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city A G D C Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits A G D C Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids A G D C Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery A G D C When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world A G D C The babies just come with the scenery A G E Oh come on baby A G E Get in the road A G E Oh come on now A G E In the middle of the road, yeah One...two...three...four... A G D C The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac A G D C I can't get from the cab to the curb A G D C Without some little jerk on my back A G D C Don't harass me, can't you tell A G D C I'm going home, I'm tired as hell A G D C I'm not the cat I used to be A G D C I got a kid, I'm thirty-three A G E Baby, get in the road A G E Come on now A G E In the middle of the road Yeah
