Capo 4
Intro: G, D, C 2x
[Verse 1]
G D C
I've been around for a little over 20 years
G D C
And to anyone who needs advice on getting here
Am D Am D Em Em D
Don't ask me, the path i took was not exactly by the book, by the book
G D C
I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
G D C
That you can lose yourself in all this traveling around
Am D Am D Em
When you reach a point of no return losing touch with lessons learned,
Em D
lessons learned
Am D G
Let me tell you now where i went wrong
Am D G Am
Hollywood is just another place i don't belong
[Chorus]
G D
Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Em C
Let's get lost in those hills
G D
Live a little closer to what is true
Em C
I'll be me and you be you
G, D, C 2x
[Verse 2]
G D C
I'm finding out the ways of this world
G D C
Can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl
Am D Am D Em
And the only way to love yourself is to give your love to someone else,
Em D
someone else
Am D G

Don't believe in everything you hear
Am D G Am
Growing up is more than simply living through the years
[Chorus]
G D
Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Em C
Let's get lost in those hills
G D
Live a little closer to what is true
Em C
I'll be me and you be you
[Bridge]
C
I'm disappointed in myself
Am Em
I left you on a shelf that i could never reach
Em C Am
I practiced what you'd always preached against
C
But now i'm back in my defense
Em D
That black and white world we tried to paint is really gray
Am D G
So it took a little time to get this right
Am D G Am
The guilty and the innocent are always side by side
[Chorus]
G D
Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Em C
Let's get lost in those hills
G D
Live a little closer to what is true
Em C
I'll be me and you be you
Em C
I'll be me and you be you
Em C G
I'll be me and you be you
