[Intro]
G D Dadd4 D Dadd4 G D Dadd4 D Dadd4
[Verse 1]
G Back to the middle and don't you remember? D Every day was another fish tank and your head D Swims around and you wrote us a letter
Sayin' things will get much better, goes
G Back to the middle and don't you remember? D Every night, there's a tiny porch light in our chest D Pulls clouds of bugs to flutter
We felt loved as they carried us, carried us
[Chorus]
G
Back to the middle and don't you remember?Our head is a cage and the parrot loves to talk
D/F# G/F# D/F# D/F#
G/F# D Dadd4 D Dadd4
[Verse 2]
G We built a cabin and we built a castle G D Dadd4 D Dadd4 I just don't believe it was worth all the hassle, you know? G We lived in cities and we lived in caves G D Dadd4 D Dadd4 I guess I'd like to move back to the middle again
[Chorus]
G Back to the middle and don't you remember? G Our head is a cage and the parrot, it won't shut up
D/F# G/F# D/F# D/F#

[Verse 3]
G
Back to the middle and don't you remember?Now and then we would take our ladder and
D
See if we will climb to the heavens orShift our gaze and climb down to never go
G
Back to the middle and don't you remember?Every winter, we would wish it were warmer and
D
Every summer, I will knit you a sweaterScratch words in the dirt to remember that
G We're up here right now, not forever, we'll D Be pulled right back down to the middle again
