Tom: D
G Em
I've been stuck here in the middle
G Em
Of the truth and feelin' alright
G Em
An abusive man can't catch him with his hands
G
He has a force of an eager mind
D
So you lie for your baby
G
Cuz he got so many secrets to hide
D
But you can't do it for yourself now
Em C
Ain't that what bruises the pride
[Chorus]
D
I was living
Preserving your name
Em
All the time
C
Leaving mine in shame
G D G
And what you did will always remain
[Instrumental]
G Em x2
[Verse 2]
G Em
I'm still stuck in here in the middle
G Em
Of the truth and an easy time
G Em
Lord as it is it was too hard to hear
G
But I'm just trying to live my life
D
When you can't hide it anymore
G
Just to keep them all feeling good
D
The truth is so unpopular
Em C
Almost worth enduring the hurt
[Chorus]
D
I was living
Preserving your name
Em
All the time
C
Leaving mine in shame
G D G
And what you did will always remain
[Instrumental]
G Em G D
[Verse 3]
D
He'll say "if you love me then you'll do it"
D
And he'll find ya if you got those daddy issues
D
And if you kick my ass no one will ever have a clue
C G
Just look at yoooou
C A
You look so strong baby
C
Hey and you'll always carry on
A7
Cause the show must go on
A C
No one will know ya done her wrong
A7
Cause he got ya
A C
Ain't that truly alone
G
The long hoo-ome
N.C.
