  Middle of the road

[Verse 1]
D  C          A      G
 Is trying to find me
D
C    A               G             D        C           A  G
 I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me
D    C            A G
 But I got a smile
D         C         A G
 For everyone I meet
D
C A                G    D              C
  Long as you don't try dragging my bay
   A                 G           D
Or dropping the bomb on my street

[Chorus]
    C         G  A G E
Oh, come on, baby

Get in the road

   E
In the middle of the road, yeah

 In the middle of the road

[Verse 2]
D            C               A G
 You see the darnedest things
D
C     A                G              D              C
 Like fat cats 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
And man,
  A            G         D      C
I don't mean a Hampstead nursery
             A         G            D                 C
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody Third World
    A                G             D
The babies just come with the scenery

[Chorus]
    C         G  A G E
Now come on, baby
               A G E
Get in the road
           A G
Come on now
   E
In the middle of the road, yeah

[Verse 3]
D      C          A    G
 Is no private culdesac
D C 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
Don't harass me, can't you tell
    D               C
I'm going home, I'm tired as hell
    A             G
I'm not the cat I used to be
     D              C             G  A G E
I've got a kid, I'm thirtythree, baby

[Chorus]
               A G E
Get in the road
           A G
Come on now
   E                          A G E
In the middle of the road yeah
