How'd you never come to the thing by the bridge where we used to go out
C                F                 C               Em   C        F          Am
House you never climbed till our clothes were all worn with our face in the dirt

            F            C             F         C
So you’re stuck in the middle and you can’t get out
F           C           F         G
No one’s laughing, no crying out loud
F             C                 F         C
You wanted something but you couldn’t get in
F        C           F           G
No one said we ever had to be friends

C                 F          C       Em  C       F           Am
How’d you never leave that tired old car on the side of the road
C               F           C          Em    C          F              Am
Rocking to and fro, let’s grab all the box finish our drinks and we’ll go

            F            C             F         C
And we're stuck in the middle and you can’t get out
F           C           F         G
No one’s laughing, no crying out loud
F             C                 F         C
You wanted something but you couldn’t get in
F        C           F           G
No one said we ever had to be friends

Dm                                           Em
Everybody’s laughing at you as if you never gave them time
                   Dm                     C  G
Because I think I told you it’s not your crime
Dm                                           Em
Everybody’s looking at you as if you never served them wine
               Dm                     C  G
And I think I told you it’s the right time
