Key: :[D] (w: Gerry Rafferty, Joe Egan)
INTRO: [D] [Dadd9] [D] [D7] [x2] :
[D]
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
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

REPEAT VERSE 1:
OUTRO:

[D](*4*) stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
