D          G         D
You always wanted to be
             G         D
Part of a circus company
        G                Bm   A
For the fun and death defying
D       G           D
But in time you forgot 
          G                D
life is small in the big top
          G                 Bm     A
And your dreams were slowly dying

Pre-Chorus:

Bm        G    D A
What you wanted  
              Bm
was not a crime
               G   
You could've done it

Chorus:

D                         A
Now you're always just a little
                 Bm
A little in the middle
                 G                        D
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                A             Bm
Always just a little in the middle
               G
It keeps your head from spinning round

D A Bm G 


D         G           D
Jugglers walk on the wire
       G                    D
Lions leap through hoops of fire
       G             Bm     A
As the acrobats go flying
D                G         D
But what's the show all about
                G                  D
When did your north get turned to south
          G            Bm     A
And the truth turn to lying

Pre-Chorus:

Bm        G    D A
What you wanted  
              Bm
was not a crime
               G   
You could've done it but you needed time

Chorus:

D                         A
Now you're always just a little
                 Bm
A little in the middle
                 G                        D
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                A             Bm
Always just a little in the middle
               G
It keeps your head from spinning round

D A Bm G 


Pre-Chorus:

Bm           G 
But it's a hole you're digging
   D                           A          Bm
A hole you're digging you're doing it despite
Bm           G 
The so much more you're missing
 D                           A                D
More you're missing to your left and to your right


Chorus:

D                         A
Now you're always just a little
                 Bm
A little in the middle
                 G                        D
A little in the middle of where you're bound
                A             Bm
Always just a little in the middle
