A              E
It’s not always easy
F#m            D
It’s not always fun being the middle child
A           E
You gotta believe me
F#m        D
If I was a spice I would just be mild
A              E                F#m
When things go wrong, I’m to blame
           D                  A
My parents always forget my name
            E                         F#m
Sometimes I swear I feel like I could run from all this
         D
And they wouldn’t notice

[Pre Chorus]
A             E
I am just the middle child
   F#m               D
My family don’t know I’m alive
A             E
Ever since Anna was born
F#m                D
My house key don’t work no more

[Chorus]
          A
They care more for the cat
          E
Than they do for me
    F#m
You tickle on her belly
          D
Why don’t you tickle me
A                 E
I wish they’d see me and smile
     F#m
But it won’t change
       D              A
‘Cause I’m the middle child

[Verse 2]
           E
My parents adore me
F#m              D
They tell me how proud they are every day
A            E
And I am the cute one (she is so cute)
F#m            D
This family of four should never change
A                    E
I’ll be there for them whenever they wish
F#m        D                  A
Except for Jack ’cause he’s a b**ch
       E                    F#m
If I’m truly honest I don’t know who Jack is
       D
But he sounds so average

[Pre Chorus]
A             E
I am just the middle child
(nobody cares)
   F#m               D
My family don’t know I’m alive
(you could be dead)
A             E
Ever since Anna was born
(she’s been a star)
F#m                D
My house key don’t work no more

[Outro]
          A
They care more for the cat
          E
Than they do for me
    F#m
You tickle on her belly
          D
Why don’t you tickle me
A                 E
I wish they’d see me and smile
    F#m
But it won’t change
       D              A
‘Cause I’m the middle child…
