In The Middle Of It All

INTRO: E

#1.
E             A
My house is a lonely house (lonely house.)
       E          A
But it was, was a happy house (happy house.)
        E                           B
And the two of us were happy as I recall

(as I recall.)
            E          Dbm
But now the rain falls around it and loneliness
                 A          B            E   B
surrounds it and I'm in the middle of it all.

#2.
   E               A
My friends look at me and say (me and say.)
  E                A
I wonder what made that boy that way (that way.)
    E                         B
The boy doesn't even smile at all (smile at all.)
      E           Dbm               E
But I wonder what they would say if their world
          Dbm               A                B
just came down one day, and they were in the middle
      E   E7
of it all.

BRIDGE:
  A                                  E
I gave that girl all the love that I had, had to
     E7  A                                E
give.....and the love that I gave her was real, now,
       B
really real.

#3.
       E                     A
Now, I ache, yeah, with heartbreak and pain (heartbreak
                  E                A
and pain) and the hurt that I just can't explain.
        E                              B
Yes, it looks like my life is about to fall (about to fall.)
       E              Dbm            E           Dbm
But, I built a shield around it, but sadness has found it.
    A              B            E
And me, I'm in the middle of it all.
