The news
D 
was
bad around the first of

December
D 
Bm 
Looks like things will never
Em 
Bm 
G 
settle down
D 
Em 
Isn't there enough room in this town
Asus4 
For us to meet in the middle
D 
Everybody's gotta throw
Bm 
their two cents   in
D 
Bm 
G 
It all seems like such a waste of time
D 
Like stumbling round

for matches in the dark

Oh, I like what you do,

That I can feel just a little
D 
And you might have a better

way to do things
D 
That's okay,
Bm

I might as well be wrong
D 
Cause I  could walk away
G 
from you tomorrow
D 
With nothing lost and nothing
Em 
left to bor row
Asus4 
Maybe I'll see      you in the middle
Em 
I like what you do,
G 
A 
it's important to you
G 
D 
Em 
But there's no room in me left
D 
Bm 
for compromise

And if it's the high road you choose

More power to you

But I don't have the strength left for compromise

D 
There's a bright red star
Bm 
on the east horizon
D 
Some would say,
Bm 
G 
don't follow him too far
D 
Look at all the good things that he's done
G 
D 
Em 
He's put away his hatred and his guns
Asus4 
Oh, can't we meet up in the middle?

Oh, I like what I see,
G 
it's important to me

it's important to you

But I've lost the ability
