Stuck In The Middle With You

Words & Music:

Gerry Rafferty (Stealer's Wheel)

 

        D

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight.

I got the feeling that something ain't right.

       G7

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair.

        D

And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.

 

CHORUS:

A                     C             G

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,

          D

Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

 

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

And I'm wondering what it is I should do.

It's so hard to keep this smile from my face.

Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place.

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

          G                                                                 D

Well, you started off with nothing and you're proud that you're a self-made man.

         G7

And your friends, they all come crawling,

                               D7          A7

Slap you on the back and say, "Please?!"  "Please?!"

 

Tryin' to make some sense of it all,

But I can see it makes no sense at all.

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?

I don't think that I can take it any more.

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

 

VERSE 1 REPRISE:

 

CHORUS:

 

Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you.
