In The Middle Of It All (CHORDS) by Arthur Alexander

[Verse]~
  E         A
My house is a lonely house (lonely house)

      E         A
But it once was a happy house (happy house)

       E                           B
And the two of us were happy as I recall (as I recall)


[Chorus]~
           E           C#m
But now the rain falls around it

   E            C#m
And loneliness surrounds it

   A          B            E  B
And I'm in the middle of it all


[Verse]~
  E              A
My friends look at me and say (me and say)

E                    A
I wonder what made that boy that way (boy that way)

   E                         B
The boy doesn't even smile at all (smile at all)


[Chorus]~
     E            C#m
But I wonder what they would say

  E                     C#m
If their world just came down one day

   A                B            E  F#m E7/G#
And they were in the middle of it all


[Bridge]~
A                                     E                F#m E7/G#
I gave that girl all the love that I had,.. had to give

A                                 E                B
And the love that I gave her was real now,.. really real


[Verse]~
     E                    A
Now I ache,.. yeah,.. with heartbreak and pain (heartbreak and pain)

     E               A
And a hurt that I just can't explain

       E                              B
Yes,.. it looks like my life is about to fall (about to fall)


[Chorus]~
      E              C#m
But,.. I built a shell around it

   E           C#m
But sadness has found it

   A              B            E
And me,.. I'm in the middle of it all
I will sit right here in the middle
