Caught Up In The Middle Chords by Bobby Womack

[A] _ [G#m] _ _ [G] _ [F#] Oh wee!
[A] [G#m] Boy, [G] somebody [F#] please come and get me out of this [A] mess.
[E] I guess that's the worst thing, [G] man, you can be [F#] caught up in [A]
a [G#] love [Em] triangle.
_ [B] _ [C#m] _
Charlie!
_ _ _ [F#]
Oh, she treats me so mean.
Ha [B] ha.
But when it comes to lovin', [G#] she's the [F#] best I've [Bm] ever seen.
_ [C] _ [C#m]
[E] Ooh, she's got that kind of [C#m] love.
[F#] _
Oh, I [C#m] just can't explain.
[F#] _ [B] _
_ And even though she hurts me sometimes, [G#]
[F#] I keep going back [Bm] again.
_ [C] _ [C#m]
I tried, _ I [F#]
tried [C#m] to cut the girl loose.
[F#] _ [B]
But no matter how hard I [F#] try,
[G#] it [F#] just ain't no [Bm] use.
[C] [G#] But [C#m] when I need her, [F#] whoa, [C#m] Sally's never around.
[F#] When [B] I need someone to comfort me, _ [G#]
[A#m] Sally [Bm] can't be [C] found.
[C#m] And I'm caught [D#m] up _ [G#] _ [C#m] in the [G#m] middle.
_ [G#] _ _ _ [C#m] _
[G#] Too caught _ [C#m] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [C#m] up.
I'm caught [G#] up.
_ _ [C#m] Caught up in the middle.
[D#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#m] _
_ [D#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _
[G#] _ [G] Ooh, [B] baby.
_ [C#m]
Barbara.
_ Bless her heart.
[F#]
She's always, [C#m] she's always [F#] around.
_ [B]
And she rubs my aching head
[G#] when the world [F#] [Bm] gets me [G#] down.
[C#m] _
[E] She's always, she's always [F#] just a phone call [C#m] away.
_ [F#] _
And she's at my beckoning call _ [G#]
every [A#m] night [Bm] and every [G#] day.
[C#m] But in the evening, _ [F#] when the sun goes [C#m] down, [F#] _ _ [B]
I get that hipster [F#] Sally
[G#] where my [F#] love comes [Bm] trouble and [G#] down.
[C#m]
And Barbara, yeah, [E] [F#] whoa, how I hate to live a lie.
[B] Cause if Barbara caught me cheating, [D#m] [G#] it would make the [A#m] little [Bm] girl cry.
[Cm] [E] And I'm caught [F#] up _ [G#m] _ in the middle.
_ [G#] _ _ _ [C#m] _
Too [G#] caught up.
[C#m] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [E]
I'm caught up.
[D#m] _ _ Caught [E] up in the middle.
[G#] _ _ _ [C#m] Too caught [D#m] _ _ [G#] up.
[A] _
[G#] _ [G] I'm [F#] _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ caught up.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
[A#m] _ _ [Bm] _ [G#] _ _ [C#m] _
[E] Mmmmmmm.
Ooh, _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#m] _ _ [B] baby. _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _
_ [A#m] _ [Bm] _ [G#] _ _ [C#m]
If [E] I, if I could just take Barbara and [F#] Sally, [C#m] put them all in the [F#] one.
[B]
I'd have the greatest of love [G#] anywhere [A#m] under the [Bm] sun, just [C] the word.
_ [C#m] _
_ _ Lord, I'm bursin' down.
[F#] _
When the sun goes down, [B] _
I get that hipster [F#m] Sally
[G#] where my [A#m] love comes trouble and [Bm] down.
[C] And I'm [G#m] caught up _ _ _ [C#m] in the middle.
[D#m] I know somebody who knows what I'm [G#] talking about.
[C#m] _
[G#] Too caught up.
_ [C#m] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [E]
Caught up [G#] _ _ _ [C#m] in the [B] middle.
[D#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#m] _
_ [D#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A]
[G#] Drunk.
I [G] hate to [F#] see Mama.
[A]
[G#] Can't you [G] see me, [F#] Lord?
I just got a gun in my [A] head anyway.
[G#] I'm [G] changing the situation.
[F#] Ooh, [A] somebody come and get me.
I'm [G#] listening.
Can't you [G] see me, Lord?
[F#] [A] I'm sick, too.
[G#] _ _ [G] _ [F#] _ _
[A] [G#] Can't you see [G] me, Lord?
[D#m] I don't wanna see Mama.
[A] _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] _ _
[A] _ [G#] Can't you see [G] me, [F#] Lord?
Yeah. _
