Cm
Did you see that man in the limousine?
G
With the pretty doll, he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen
G7
But she doesn't care, and she never will
G
If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn
Cm
Just as long as he pays the bill
[Verse]
Cm
Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
G
He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and caviar
G7
He can choose the wine from a vintage year
G
He will drink champagne in his limousine
Cm
When the rest of us drink a beer
[Chorus]
Cm
'Cause he's the Man In The Middle, never second fiddle
F
Just like a spider in a cobweb
G Bb G
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
F Cm
'Cause he's the Man In The Middle, knows the way to diddle
F
He's never bothered by his conscience
G
Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be
G C G F
Man In The Middle, the middle, the middle

In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...)

[Verse]
Cm
But you see that man made a big mistake
G
Even though he's got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
G7
And the money too, all that he can spend
G
He can buy the most, nearly anything
Cm
But he can't buy an honest friend
[Chorus]
[Fadeout]
