In The Middle Of It All

My [D]house is a[G] lonely house
But it [D]once was a[G] happy house
And the [D]two of us [C#]were h[B]appy[G] as I re-[A]call[A7]

But now the [D]rain falls a-[Bm]round it
And [D]loneliness sur-[Bm]rounds it
And [G]I am in the [A]middle of it [D]all  [A]


My [D]friends look at [G]me and say
I [D]wonder what made that [G]boy that way
The [D]boy [C#]  doesn't e[B]ven[G] smile at [A]all [A7]

But I [D]wonder what [Bm]they would say
If [D]their world just came [Bm]down one day
And [G]they were in the [A]middle of it [D]all [D7]


[G]  I gave that girl all the love that I [D]had
Had to give
And the [G]love that I gave her
Was r[D]eal and real and [A]real [A7]


Now I [D]ache yeah
With heart-[G]breaking pain
And the [D]hurt that I just [G]cant explain
Yes it [D]looks like [C#]  my l[B]ife[G] is about to [A]fall[A7]

Refrain 3 / end

But I [D]feel a shadow [Bm]round me
But [D]sadness has [Bm]found me
And [G]me I'm in the [A]middle of it [D]all
I'm [G]sitting right here in the [D]middle

I hope I've done it justice!
