A                         G         D           C
The middle of the road is trying to find me
A                                         G                 D        C
I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me
A                  G            D           C
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet
A                             G      D        C
As long as you don't try dragging my bay
A                      G            D     C
Or dropping the bomb on my street

A               G     E

Get in the road

A                                g                   D       C
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city
A                               G            D     C
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
A                              G          D       C
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
A                       G               D       C
Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery
A                               G                  D        C
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
A         G               D                    C
The babies just come with the scenery

The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac
A          G                 D           C
I can't get from the cab to the curb
A                    G            D       C
Without some little jerk on my back
A                  G       D        C
Don't harass me, can't you tell
A                G      D             C
I'm going home, I'm tired as hell
A                 G      D        C
I'm not the cat I used to be
A           G          D         C
I got a kid, I'm thirty-three

A             G          E
