VERSE 1:
Well I
[D#](*4*) don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so
[G#](*2*) scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm
[D#](*2*) wondering how I'll get down the stairs
[A#](*1*) Clowns to the left of me,
[G#](*1*) jokers to the right
Here I
[D#](*2*) am, stuck in the middle with you
VERSE 2:
Yes I'm
[D#](*4*) stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so
[G#](*2*) hard to keep this smile from my face
Cause I'm
[D#](*2*) sure, yeah, I'm all over the place
[A#](*1*) Clowns to the left of me,
[G#](*1*) jokers to the right
Here I
[D#](*2*) am, stuck in the middle with you
BRIDGE:
Well you
[G#](*2*) started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made
[D#](*2*) man
And your
[G#](*2*) friends they all come callin'
Slap you on the back and say
[D# open](*2*) Please;
[A# open](*2*) Please
VERSE 3:
[D#](*4*) Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it
[G#](*2*) cool to go to sleep on the floor?
Cause I
[D#](*2*) don't think that I can take anymore
[A#](*1*) Clowns to the left of me,
[G#](*1*) jokers to the right
Here I
[D#](*2*) am, stuck in the middle with you
