Jack Johnson - Middle Man

      Note: Use bar chords for all chords except Em*

[Intro] (x2)
Em   A   

[Verse]
Em
Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it
    A
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
Em
Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted
    A
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
Em
As certain situations scream for deviations
    A
But somehow we always get stuck in the middle
   Em
Of this and that and then he should try less
A
Every time he's rejected then he loses affection

[Chorus]
C
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
A                          D                     Em     D
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
A               D                Em  D
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
A             D                Em    D
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
A              D                 A   G  F# F Em*
What a terrible thing for you to relay

[Verse]
Em
Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
      A
Never still find some to spare
Em
And other people got more than they could use
A
But they don't share
Em
And some people got problems man
         A
They got awful complications
Em
Other people got perfect situations
A
With no provocation

[Chorus] 
C
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
A                          D                     Em     D
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
A               D                Em  D
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
A             D                Em    D
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
A               D
What a terrible thing for you
Em     D
Confused
A               D                Em  D
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
A             D                Em    D
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
A              D                 A   G  F# F Em
What a terrible thing for you to relay
