Transcription by Phil Gardner

Intro: D-C-G-F (x2) D

D               
What's that sound, what's that sound, what's that sound?
          G              C                               D       
You got me hanging on and listening to confessions on the telephone.
D         
Hear me now, hear me now, hear me now,
           G                     C                             D
You beat me black and blonde, somebody tell me what the hell is going on.

F            Bb                  C              G
God save the middle child, she's never what she seems,
F                   Bb                  C               D
You can't blame the middle child, she's drowning in her dreams.

D                  
Dumb me down, dumb me down, dumb me down,
           G                    C                         D
You got the wrong address, I'm a mortar and a pestle not a garlic press.

F          Bb                   C                 G
Beware the middle child, she'll bring you to your knees,
F            Bb                 C           G
She's just a little child who's fallen in between,
F        Bb                  C              G
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems,
F                   Bb                  C               D
You can't blame the middle child, she's drowning in her dreams.

Instrumental: D-C-G-F (x2) D

D         
Hear me now, hear me now, hear me now,
           G                     C                             D
You beat me black and blonde, somebody tell me what the hell is going on now.

F          Bb                   C                 G
Beware the middle child, she'll bring you to your knees,
F            Bb                 C           G
She's just a little child who's fallen in between,
F        Bb                  C              G
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems,
F                   Bb                  C              
You can't blame the middle child, she's drowning, she's drowning.

C
A ringing in my ears, from playing too loud,
C
I hear the ocean, I hear the crowd.
