[Verse 1]
G
So you think you're in the middle of the ocean
G
Stranded on an island of your own
G
Or stuck on the top of a mountain
D Am7 D
Either way you're gonna say you're all alone
G
And I hesitate to say that you're a liar
G
I never tell the truth myself
G
But I tried to chase you down and I got tired
D Am7 D
So I'm leaving you to be with someone else
[Chorus 1]
Em G
'Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle
Em G
And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show
Em G
But you answer every question with a riddle
D Am7 D D Am7 D
And refuse to even choose to let me go
[Verse 2]
G
It used to be I'd tell you all my secrets
G
Giving you the credit you deserved
G
I guess you didn't care to lose or keep it
D Am7 D
And we never quite connected from the first
[Chorus 2]
Em G
And I wish I had a way to make it better
Em G
To rearrange the world and make you smile
Em G
But it's dumb to even think I had that power
D Am7 D D Am7 D
And we haven't been that close in a while
[Solo]

[Chorus 3]
Em G
And I don't even wanna try to name it
Em G
Explain it for the one who couldn't care
Em G D Am7 D
'Cause all that matters is the way you choose to frame it
[Verse 3]
G
And I hesitate to say that you're a liar
G
I never tell the truth myself
G
But I tried to chase you down and I got tired
D Am7 D
So I'm leaving you to be with someone else
[Chorus 4]
Em G
'Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle
Em G
And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show
Em G
But you answer every question with a riddle
D Am7 D D Am7 D
And refuse to even choose to let me go
