Em 
You've got a plan that can never go wrong 
D 
You took advantage and the damage done 
                 A 
It all comes back to me baby 
                 Em      D 
It all comes back to me  
Em 
I play the fool and I went off the track 
D 
And when I think of all it cost 
 
When the die was cast 
                  A 
You know I had to be crazy 
                 Em 
You know I had to be 
Em                   A 
I've been telling lies 
Em                                      D 
And you forgive me but my heart still cries 
D 
And you can understand 
 
                Em             C 
I'm just the man in the middle 
       G                 D  
Of a complicated plan 
Em         C                             G D 
No one to show me the signs  
             Em              C 
I'm just a creature of  habit 
      G                 D 
In a complicated world 
Am 
Nowhere to run to 
Am 
Nowhere to hide 
 
Em A 
Em 
I know I let you down in so many ways 
                 D 
I know that sorry doesn't tell you 
 
What you need me to say. 
                    A 
But, I would die for you baby 
                   Em 
Yes, I would die for you 
 
Em                 A 
I've been in disguise 
Em                                       D 
And you forgive me and our love will rise 
D 
And you can understand 
 
                 Em             C  
I'm just the man in the middle 
       G                 D 
Of a complicated plan 
Em          C                           G  D 
No one to show me the light  
                Em               C 
I guess I'm weary from battle 
            G                  D  
But I've just begun to fight 
Am 
Nowhere to run to 
Am 
Nowhere to hide 
 
                 Em            C 
I'm just the man in the middle 
       G                 D   
Of a complicated plan
