[Verse]

          
Welcome strang

        
er to the show
          
I'm the one wh

           
o should be ly

     
-ing low
          
Saw the knives

            
 out, turned m

  
y back
        
Heard the trai

n coming
           
stayed right o

      
n that track


[Chorus]

             
In the middle,


 in the middle
            
In the middle 

         
of a dream
          
I lost my shir

             
t, I pawned my

 
 rings
            
I've done all

[Verse 2]
 - Same Progression as Verse 1

Caught the fever, heard the tune
Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
Started howling, made no sense
Thought my friends would rush to my defence


[Verse 3]
 - Same Progression as Verse 1

And I get all your good advice
Never stops me from going through these things twice
I see the knives out, I turn my back
I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track

[Verse 4]

          
I melted wax t

        
o fix my wings
          
I threw my hat

         
 into the ring
            
I thought that

           
 I just had to

 
 sing
            
I've done all 

    
the dumb thing

s

[Outro]

      
Ends with sing

       
le strum of Am

Enjoy!
