Intro: D G Asus4 D 2x
D G Asus4 D
Verse 1: Well since our separation you have taken up with thee
G Asus4 D
They tell you just how wonderful you are
G
Baby I have nothing but respect for you
Asus4 D
I would never try to rip you off
G
Cause I know your heart still runs with mine
Asus4 D
You're just afraid of getting soft
D G
Chorus: It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
Well, it's summer time in California
Asus4 D
I never felt so cold
G
It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
But I still love you baby
Asus4 D
Why don't you come on home?
D G
Verse 2: Well, I put the bat out of my mind and my
Asus4 D
Memories are good
G
The hardwood floor neath your kitchen door
Asus4 D
Where you taught me all your dirty words
G
When we first made love under your ivory cross
Asus4 D
It was a rainy Easter Sunday
G
And we were drinking champagne in the Mulholland hills
Asus4 D
When I finally felt that stone roll away
D G
Chorus: It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
But you still got a hold on me
Asus4 D
Even though you're getting old
G
It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
But I still love you baby
Asus4 D
Why don't you come on home?
G Asus4 D
Why don't you come on...
D G
Verse 3: Well happy birthday baby
Asus4 D
Hope you're getting realistic
G Asus4 D
You're two months and two years away from the same old sad statistic
G
To live out in the wilderness
Asus4 D
You gotta learn to start a fire
G
But you can stand out there with your fist in the air
Asus4 D
While the rest of us get on with our lives
D G
Chorus: It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
But don't you listen to me baby
Asus4 D
I've been bought and sold
G
It's a long, long way to the middle
Asus4 D
The middle of the road
G
But I still love you baby
Asus4 D
Why don't you come on home?
G Asus4 D
Why don't you come on...
