Middleman

Bm A* C#* 8x Bm C#* Bm C#* F# Bm A* C#* 2x Bm A* C#* I traveled though the atmosphere Bm A* C#* as a wall of feedback climbed Bm C#* Bm C#* The pegs were gold, the band was old, F# Bm A* C#* they played in half time Bm A* C#* Now every dream gets whittled down Bm A* C#* just like every fool gets wise Bm C#* Bm C#* You will never reap of any seed F# deprived of sunlight Bm A* C#* 2x G Bm So I have become the Middleman G Bm The gray areas are mine D G F# Bm The in-between, the absentee F# Bm A* C#* Is a beautiful disguise Bm A* C#* So I keep my footlights shining bright Bm A* C#* just like I keep my exits wide Bm C#* Bm C#* 'Cause I never know when it's time to go, F# Bm A* C#* it's too crowded now inside Bm A* C#* The dead can hide beneath the ground Bm A* C#* and the birds can always fly Bm C#* Bm C#* But the rest of us do what we must F# in constant compromise Bm A* C#* 2x G Bm So I have become the Middleman G Bm The gray areas are fine D G F# Bm The "I don't know," the "maybe so" F# Is the only real F# Is the only true F# Is the only real Bm A* C#* reply Continue to the end. Great song. Love Bright Eyes. Again, thank you Tecumseh.
