              Intro: G  C  Em  D 
  
Verse 1:
G                      C7M 
You call it bright  and I call it simple 
Em                   D         C 
And somewhere in the middle is truth 
G                       C7M 
And?you?see the hill ?and I see the castle 
    Em               D       A       C 
Our front?that was united is doomed  ooh 
 
 
G             C                 G           D 
You call this brick and mortar  I call this sacred skin 
G                  C           Em         D 
You see the figure skater  and I fear the ice is thin 
G                C              G           D 
And the light is all around us  but when we spar  it's dim 
G                C              Em              D   G  C  Em  D 
We're right here in the middle  missing the miracle 
  
Verse 2:
G                     C 
You see the cloud and I see the lining 
    Em               D         C 
And somewhere in the middle is sun 
    G                           C 
And you say it's greatness" and I say bad timing 
   Em                 D              A    C 
And when we leave the ring  no one's won  ooh 
  
Verse 3:
G        C            G              D 
I go for the jugular  you knock 'til you get in 
G                      C           Em         D 
You hold the loud and raucous  and I hear the dropping pin 
     G           C                G         D 
And you run all front and center  I whisper paper thin 
G                C              Em              D 
We're right here in the middle  missing the miracle 
  
 
C               Em 
The winter gets long 
               D 
The rapids get white 
                 Am               C   G 
And what doesn't kill us turns to grey 
  
G             C                 G           D 
You call this brick and mortar  I call this sacred skin 
G                  C           Em         D 
You see the figure skater  and I fear the ice is thin 
G                C              G           D 
And the light is all around us  but when we spar  it's dim 
G                C              Em              D   G  C 
We're right here in the middle  missing the miracle 
 
Em              D    G            C 
Missing the miracle (the light is all around us) 
Em              D    G            C 
Missing the miracle (the light is all around us) 
Em              D 
Missing the miracle 
  
Final: G
