[A]
[Em]
[F#m] [A] [D]
[Em] Over the hill [F#m] you see [C] the [Em]
middle of [A] your day
And [Em] the sun says [F#m] it's time [Em] for you to [Am] go your [Bm] way
[Em]
Go [Am] [G] and tell [D] your mama [F#m]
[D] that [Am] you [Em] now know what to [D] do
Her [Em]
love will come [D] in handy, [F#m]
[Am]
she's [D] always [F] been you [D] through
But there's no one here [G] to guide you, [Dm]
[Em] you got to do it by [G] [Em]
yourself
[Cm] [C#] Minutes fail [G#] you [C] day by [G#] day, and there's really [C] nothing [G]
else
[G#m] [B] [F]
[C] [Am] [C] Where were you [Bm] all morning, [F#m] [Am] [Em] dodging life [D] inside your [A] heart
[D]
[Em] Never daring [F#m] face the danger,
[Em] [Am] that attack right from the [Bm] start
[Em] Go and [D] tell your daddy, [Am] she was right in [Em] what he [D] said
Cause [C] [Em] the laws [Am] of [F#m] independence [Am] don't apply until [F] you're [D] dead
And [Bm] though you'd like him [G] here to push you,
[Em] cause you feel a [G] need for help
[G#]
Minutes fail you [C] day by [G#] day, [Cm] and there's really [F] nothing [D] else
[A] [B] [G]
[D] How long must we live [F#m] [B] inside [A] [G]
chains that anchor us to fear
[Em]
How long must we [F] justify [G] when there's really nothing [E]
[F#m] [Em] here
[Am] It's the middle [D] of your [A] day, [Am] wake up to [C] the middle of your [D] day
[F#m]
Why don't [C] you welcome [Am]
the middle [D] of your [A] day
