MIDDLE GROUND (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------
[Actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret]
[Each chord is half a measure (but many measures are broken up 3:5)]

G  D    G  D    C/E  D    C/E   D     G  D    G  D    C/E  D    C/E   D
[intro]

G      D                 G      D
   For years she's lived on her own
C/E     D       C/E   D
   In a corner of the city
G          D         G        D
   Twice a year she gets back home
C/E        D         C/E        D
   Playing catch-up with the family

She tells her folks what they need to know
Her mother says she's much too thin
Her sisters ask about her beau
Her dad inquires, how's business been

C               D           G      C
   She's thirty-three this time around
C               D         G          C
   She's always been real good at listening
C               D           G         C
   Her sense of humor never lets her down
C             Em           C      D
   Except sometimes there's something missing

G      Am   D          D
   Hey,       middle ground
G      Am          D       D
   A place between up and down
G        Am       D        D
   She could be safe and sound
G      Am   C        D
Oh, to know middle ground

G  D    G  D    C/E  D    C/E   D
[instrumental]

[Another verse in here]

F              F       C       C        D               G    D        G
  She gave her heart away one time, and says that she hasn't seen it since
F          F       C      C   A           A          C           C
  Love's a puzzle in her mind; the pieces match, but don't quite fit [solo...]

[You can figure out the rest; the songs ends on D.]
