Hard Times In The Middle

Peter Mealy

 

E                           G#7

We had a slight misunderstanding

E    E/F#                         A7

It might have sounded like a fight

E                            B             Cdim

Maybe I was too demanding

C#m    C#m/B             A7

Maybe you were even right

E                                        G#7

If I could take back every word I said

C#m               C#m/B     A7      C7            

You know that I probably would

              E                         A7

We got hard times in the middle

E                          A7

Hard times in the middle

E      C#m7           F#7         B7             E  G7  C7   B7   

Hard times in the middle of something good

You know it isn’t any secret that I’m not a perfect man

And there isn’t any reason

Things can’t go as planned

We just got disconnected

Temporarily lost in the woods

And got hard times in the middle

Hard times in the middle

E        C#m7         F#7          B7              E        

Hard times in the middle of something good

           C#m

Like a rainy vacation

          C#m/B

Your car's in the station

                      F#/A#                    A7     C7

With smoke pouring out of the hood

E      C#m7       F#7      B7            E  G7  C7   B7   

Hard times in the middle of something good

Like a blue light flashing in your rear view mirror

Just when your baby said she would

Hard times I the middle of something good

I guess it’s just to be expected

While we're climbing this slippery hill

We can taste sweet sweet success

If we swallow this bitter pill

So let's sit and talk it over

We don’t have to but we know we should

We got hard times in the middle

Hard times in the middle

Hard times in the middle of something good
