The middle of the road ■ ■ is trying to find me ■
G                     D                      C     Am7       G D
■ I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me ■ ■
G            A     D     D7         A7   G D
Well I got a smile ■ for everyone I meet ■ ■
D7 G  A7          G         D           C  
■  As long as you don't try dragging my bay
   A7           G          D     
Or dropping the bomb on my street
E                E7
Now come on baby ■ 
E                
■ Get in the road
   E

In the middle of the road ■ ■ you see the darnedest things ■ ■
A                     D                               
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city
A                   D                   
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
A      G              D                   C   
■ Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
         Am7          G         D G      
Oh man I don't mean a Hampstead ■ nursery
         A7        D                         C    
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
Am7             D                    
The babies just come with the scenery
E7              A7 E7
Oh come on baby ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
E7             
Get in the road

A7      D                           
I can't get from the cab to the curb
A7                             D    D7
Without some little jerk on my back ■ 
A7                            
Don't harass me can't you tell
D7                 D     D7     
I'm going home I'm tired as hell
                  D         
I'm not the cat I used to be
                D7         
I got a kid I'm thirtythree
E7   E                
Baby ■ get in the road

                     E
