Somewhere in the Middle

D
Stuart McNair

D    G    A    D  A7

I’m a little too old, she’s a little too young
She don’t curse aloud but I’ve got a sailor’s tongue
She don’t drink whiskey but I drink it like it’s beer
She’s been around the world but I was born right here

[chorus]
Somewhere in the middle between wrong and right
Somewhere together beneath the trees by the pale moonlight
Somewhere in the middle between black and white
It’s alright, somewhere in the middle is where we’ll meet tonight

She’s so reckless when I’m holding back
Now she’s acting shy when I’m about to attack
She don’t take orders, but then neither do I
We both like to dance beneath the moonlit sky

[chorus]
[bridge]
G                D
We don’t have to see eye to eye
G                    A
If we did then we might have to say goodbye
Somewhere in the middle, just let me hold you tight
It’s alright, somewhere in the middle is where we’ll meet tonight

[solo]

Her smile might be real, but her nails are fake
Now she’s fast asleep and I’m wide awake
We’ve both seen Dylan and we’ve both made mistakes
And you can feel the treetops shake to the love we make

[chorus]
Somewhere in the middle, just let me hold you tight
It’s alright, somewhere in the middle is where we’ll meet tonight
