[Verse 1]
D
If you live life in the middle and not on the edge
A
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
If a big Saturday means clipping the hedge
D
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
If you shop at Sears, drink a lot of iced tea
G (G#)
You like to dance the polka and watch TV
A
Well, then the jury is in, and the critics agree
D
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
[Chorus]
G D
Hopelessly Midwestern – corn fed boys and girls
G A
Hopelessly Midwestern – square pegs in this big round world
D D7
Well, you can go from seas to shining sea
G
But right in the middle is the place to be
A
And if you like it like that, you’re a lot like me –
D
Hopelessly Midwestern
[Verse 2]
D
Now if you’re favorite stretch of highway is flat & straight
A
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
And if you still think sushi looks a lot like bait
D
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
You like your potatoes mashed and your chicken fried
G (G#)
Your green beans boiled and your apples pied
A
And home sweet home is a double-wide
D
You’re hopelessly Midwestern
[Chorus]
G D
Hopelessly Midwestern – corn fed boys and girls
G A
Hopelessly Midwestern – square pegs in this big round world
D D7
Well, you can go from seas to shining sea
G
But right in the middle is the place to be
A
And if you like it like that, you’re a lot like me –
D
Hopelessly Midwestern
