      [Intro]
G Em7 Am7 D7 (x4)

[Verse 1]
              G               Em7                Am7      D7
Let's take it back toward the middle, back where love got new
G               Em7            Am7          D7
Back toward the middle when we knew what to do
           G           Em7                 Am7             D7        G  Em7 Am7 D7
Because as crazy as it sounds, I think I'm fallin' more in love with you

[Verse 2]
              G               Em7                Am7      D7
Let's take it back toward the middle, back where love got real
G               Em7            Am7         D7
Back toward the middle when we knew how to feel
              G             Em7             Am7              D7       G  Em7 C G
Because there ain't nobody, lover love, who loves you like I did back then

[Chorus]
Am7               D7             G   Em7
Sometimes I could see it in your eyes
Am7               D7       G           Em7
Shouldn't have to look any further (No further)
Am7               D7             G
Sometimes I could hear it in the lies
Bm7             Em7
Catch it in the sigh
                     Am7      D7
I found the sweet surprise (I know that I'm)

[Verse 3]
G               Em7                Am7      D7
Back toward the middle, back where love got new
G               Em7            Am7          D7
Back toward the middle when we knew what to do
           G           Em7                 Am7             D7        G  Em7 C G
Because as crazy as it sounds, I think I'm fallin' more in love with you

[Chorus]
Am7               D7             G   Em7
Sometimes I could see it in your eyes
Am7               D7       G           Em7
Shouldn't have to look any further (No further)
Am7               D7             G
Sometimes I could hear it in the lies
D               Em7
Catch it in the sigh
                     Am7      D7
I found the sweet surprise (I know that I'm)

[Verse 4]
G               Em7                Am7      D7
Back toward the middle, back where love got real
G               Em7            Am7         D7
Back toward the middle when we knew how to feel
           G           Em7                 Am7         D7    G
Because as crazy as it sounds, I think I'm fallin' all over again
Em7 Am7         D7    G
    Fallin' all over again
Em7  Am7          D7   G    Em7 Am7 D7
   I want you all over again

[Outro]
                G
Don't wanna say bye
Em7 Am7 D7                       G         Em7       Am7   D7
    I   want you lookin' over my shoulder, shoulder (oh oh oh honey)
G         Em7       Am7             D7
Back back back back back toward the middle, honey
G         Em7      Am7 D7
Back back back back
                G
Don't wanna say bye
Em7 Am7 D7                       G         Em7       Am7   D7
    I   want you lookin' over my shoulder, shoulder (oh oh oh honey)
G         Em7       Am7             D7
Back back back back back toward the middle, honey
G         Em7       Am7
Back back back back back
