Lyrics

A man walks down the street,

he says, (Gm7)"Why am I soft in the (C)middle now?

(F)Why am I soft in the middle,

the (Gm7)rest of my life is (C)so hard.

(F)I need a photo opportunity, (Gm7)I want a shot at (C)redemption.

(F)Don't want to end up a cartoon in a (Gm7)cartoon (C)graveyard."

(F)Bone digger, bone digger, (Gm7)dogs in the (C)moon light,

(F)far away in my (Gm7)welllit door.

(C)Mister (F)beer belly, beer belly, (Gm7)get these mutts (C)away from me.

(F)I don't find this stuff (Gm7)amusing anymore.

(F)If you'll be my (C)bodyguard (Gm7)I can be your (C)long

(F)lost pal.

(F)I can call you (C)Betty and (Gm7)Betty,

when you (C)call me, you can (F)call me Al.

(F)A man walks down the street,

he says, (Gm7)"Why am I soft in the (C)middle now?
