Verse:
                        C
Hear you down the hallway
      Am
Voices are high and the air is tense
                C
Someone did the wrong thing
                Am              F
Yelling back and forth your defense

                C
Slamming the sliding door
        Am
Sit silently after the argument
                C
Not happy anymore
        Am              F
Not sad either, we all pretend

Chorus:
                F
Use me as the middle man
                C                         G
Tell me your problems, I’ll try to solve ‘em
                           F
I’m your therapist on demand
        C                       G
I take on the role you never would touch


Verse:
              C
Take it too personal
                Am
Try to explain but your mind’s not quite right
                C
Thoughts rattle in your skull
                Am              F
Demons that I don’t know how to fight

        C
Same situation
        Am
I won’t take sides, even if you’re upset
        C
Maintain isolation
              Am                    F
I’m still your kid, hope you don’t forget


Chorus:
                F
Use me as the middle man
                C                         G
Tell me your problems, I’ll try to solve ‘em
                           F
I’m your therapist on demand
        C                       G
I take on the role you never would touch


Bridge:
F
In your game of tug-of-war
            C              G
Pull me both ways until I’m sore
F
Give me a heartache
     C        G                F
You don’t give up until I break


Reprise:
                 F
I’ll be the middle man
           C            G
Promise I’ll try to keep the quiet
                F
Always the middle man
             C                  G
Just wanting peace, but I can’t find it

F
