[Intro 1]
[Am][G][D][Am][G][D][Am][G][Am][G][Am]
[G][Am][G][Am][Em][G][Am][G][Am]
[D][G][Am][D][G][E][Am][D]
[Am][G][D][Am][G][D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I traveled [G]though the atmo[Am]sphere as a wall of feedback [G]climbed[D]
[Am]The pegs were [G]gold, [Am]the [G]band[D] was[Am] old,[G]
[Am]they playe[E]d in h[G]alf time[Am][G][Am][G][D][Am]
Now every dream [G]gets whittled [Am]down
just like every fool gets [G]wise
[Am]You will never reap [G]of any s[Am]eed [G]depri[E]ved of[Am][G]
[Am]sun light

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][E][Am][G][Am][C][G][F]

[Verse 2]
So [F]I have become [Am]the
[F]middleman
The gray areas are [Am]mine[C]
The in-between, [F]the the [E]absent[Am]ee
Is a [E]beautiful [Am]disguise

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G]
[D][G][Am][G][Am]
[G]So I keep

[Verse 3]
[Am]my footl[G]ights shining bright just
like [Am]I keep my exi[G]ts wid[Em]e[E]
Because [Am]I never [G]know when [Am]it's time to [G]go,
it's too [E]crowded [Esus4]now in si[E]de[Am][G][Am][G]
The [Am]dead can [G]hide be[Am]neath the ground
and the birds can [G]always [Am]fly
But the rest [G]of [Am]us do what we mu[G]st in co[E]nstant
[Am]compromise

[Interlude 3]
[C][G][D][Am][C][G][D][G][F][Dm]
[F]So

[Verse 4]
I have become the
[Am]midd[Dm]leman
The gray [F]areas are [Am]fine[C]
The "I don't [F]know,"
[E]the "maybe [Am]so"
[E]Is the only real reply
It is the only true [D]reply

[Outro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][D][Am][G][Am][G][Am][D][G]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][Am][G][Am][Am][G]
[Am][Am][G][Am]
