Capo on the 4th fret...

G          C         G
You always wanted to be
             C         G
Part of a circus company
        C                Em   D
For the fun and death defying
G       C           G
But in time you forgot
          C                G
life is small in the big top
          C                 Em     D
And your dreams were slowly dying

Pre-Chorus:

Em        C    G D
What you wanted
              Em
was not a crime
               C
You could've done it

Chorus:

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                G
A little in the middle
                D                      G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
               C
It keeps your head from spinning round

G D Em C


G         C           G
Jugglers walk on the wire
       C                    G
Lions leap through hoops of fire
       C             Em     D
As the acrobats go flying
G                C         G
But what's the show all about
                C                  G
When did your north get turned to south
          C            Em     D
And the truth turn to lying

Pre-Chorus:

Em        C    G D
What you wanted
              Em
was not a crime
               C
You could've done it but you needed time

Chorus:

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                G
A little in the middle
                D                      G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
               C
It keeps your head from spinning round

G D Em                C
        It keeps your head from spinning


Pre-Chorus:

Em           C
But it's a hole you're digging
   G                           D          Em
A hole you're digging you're doing it despite
            C
The so much more you're missing
 G                           D                G
More you're missing to your left and to your right


Chorus:

G                         D
Now you're always just a little
                G
A little in the middle
                D                        G
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                D             Em
Always just a little in the middle
               C
It keeps your head from spinning round
