For the chorus. I will call the modified A and C#, A* and C#* just to save me typing None of this is based on me figuring anything out. I just put to a tab what TecumsehBand in this video: I didn't post the finger picking pattern because honestly i don't know it. You'd have to to Tecumseh about it. Strumming the chords is enough for me. Thanks to Tecumseh. Intro: Bm A* C#* X8 Bm C#* Bm C#* F# Bm A* C#* X2
Bm           A*           C#*
I traveled though the atmosphere

Bm           A*           C#*
as a wall of feedback climbed

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
The pegs were gold, the band was old,

F#              Bm           A*           C#*
they played in half time

Bm           A*           C#*
Now every dream gets whittled down

Bm           A*           C#*
just like every fool gets wise

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
You will never reap of any seed

F#
deprived of sunlight
Bm A* C#* X2
G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman

G                   Bm
The gray areas are mine

D   G          F#     Bm
The in-between, the absentee

F#             Bm           A*           C#*
Is a beautiful disguise

Bm           A*           C#*
So I keep my footlights shining bright

Bm           A*           C#*
just like I keep my exits wide

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
'Cause I never know when it's time to go,

F#            Bm           A*           C#*
it's too crowded now inside

Bm           A*           C#*
The dead can hide beneath the ground

Bm           A*           C#*
and the birds can always fly

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
But the rest of us do what we must

F#
in constant compromise
Bm A* C#* X2
G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman

G                   Bm
The gray areas are fine

D   G          F#     Bm
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"

F#
Is the only real

F#
Is the only true

F#
Is the only real
Bm A* C#* reply Continue to the end. Great song. Love Bright Eyes. Again, thank you Tecumseh.
