[Verse]
Am        Em       Am        Em
  Welcome stranger    to the show
Am        Em      Am     C  G  D   Am
  I'm the one who should be ly-ing low
        Em          Am           Em
Saw the knives out,    turned my back
Am          Em
  Heard the train coming
Am     C     G  D    F
stayed right on that track

[Chorus]
F             C
In the middle,  in the middle
Em                    F        G
   In the middle of a dream
  Am      Em       F         C
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings

I've done all the dumb things
Am  Em   Am  Em   Am C G D

[Verse 2]
Am            Em    Am           Em
   Caught the fever,   heard the tune
Am           Em         Am   C   G    D      Am
   Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
        Em       Am         Em
Started howling,    made no sense
Am           Em            Am   C  G  D  F
  Thought my friends would rush to my defence

[Chorus]
F             C
In the middle,  in the middle
Em                    F        G
   In the middle of a dream
  Am      Em       F         C
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
G         D       Am         Em
I've done all the dumb things

   And I get all your   good advice
Am      Em            Am    C       G      D     Am
  Never stops me from going through these things twice
          Em         Am          Em
I see the knives out,  I turn my back
Am           Em              Am   C     G  D    F
  I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track

[Chorus 2]
F             C
In the middle, in the middle
Em                    F        G
   In the middle of a dream
  Am      Em       F         C
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
G         D       Am         Em
I've done all the dumb things, 
  Am     Em     F      C
I melted wax to fix my wings
G         D       Am          Em
I've done all the dumb things,   
       Am       Em    F      C
Yeah I threw my hat into the ring
G         D       Am          Em
I've done all the dumb things,  
       Am           Em     F      C
Well I thought that I just had to sing

I've done all the dumb things
