In The Middle by Mat Kearney
In The Middle
Standard Tuning
No capo
F
I meant it all and every part
Bb
And every word right from the start
Dm7 C
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
F
''Cause you know you broke the hardest part
Bb
You know you broke the hardest heart
Dm7 C
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
Bb Dm7 C
Through it all
Verse:
F
Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
Bb
Swimming bold against a stream that''s mocking as it races
Dm7
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
C
Crack a smile just to hide the race that''s inside
F
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail
Bb
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
Dm7
One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall
C
A world to lose coming back with you tall
Bb Dm7 C
Through it all
CHORUS:
F
No parachutes no safety nets here
Bb
One foot on the water to face these fears
Dm7
I''m coming out strong like I can''t be wrong
C Bb
I said "hey, I won''t fall in the middle"
Dm7 C Bb
Repeat Verse
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
F Bb Dm7
And I''m gonna be alright, I''m gonna be alright
C
With you by my side
F Bb Dm7
And I said I''m gonna be alright, I''m gonna be alright
C
With you through this fight
Bb
Through it all
Dm7 C
Repeat Chorus twice
F
Coz I meant it all and every part
Bb
And every word right from the start
Dm7 C
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
Bb
Through it all
End on Bb above^^
i tabbed this from the Sessions @ AOL video so the album version
be a little different at the end or middle parts. Those are the chords Mat plays but the
playing the guitar puts a capo on the first fret and plays a Dm instead of Dm7..

[Intro]
I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
''Cause you know you broke the hardest part
You know you broke the hardest heart
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all
[Interlude 1]
[Verse]
Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
Swimming bold against a stream that''s mocking as it races
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
Crack a smile just to hide the race that''s inside
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall
A world to lose coming back with you tall
Through it all
[Interlude 1]
[Chorus]
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can''t be wrong
I said eh, I won''t fall in the middle
[Interlude 2]
[Verse]
Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs
One life to write one, two years to repeat
Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore''s in store
Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door
Thirty something here I am running with kisses for one girl
These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls
Throw each stone microphone like it''s my last turn
With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return
Through it all
[Interlude 1]
[Chorus]
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can''t be wrong
I said eh, I won''t fall in the middle
[Interlude 2]
[Bridge]
And I''m gonna be alright, I''m gonna be alright
With you by my side
And I said I''m gonna be alright, I''m gonna be alright
With you through this fight
Through it all
[Interlude 1]
[Chorus]
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can''t be wrong
I said eh, I won''t fall
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can''t be wrong
I said eh, I won''t fall in the middle
[Interlude 2]
[Outro]
I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I''ll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all
