[Intro]
A
[Verse]
E A
He had roast beef for his last meal
D A
His brothers went to market and to home
E A
He was cut off from his family
D A
Because he wanted to find freedom on his own
E D
He saw his big chance for an escape
E D
In helicopter rotating blades
A D
And said goodbye to the pigsty
E4 E A E/G#
Quick as a guillotine he was gone
F#m D A
All his brother's jealous hearts were broken
A/C# D E
'Cause something was afoot there in that shoe
F#m D
But they all stuck together
C#4 F#m Bm E4 E
'Cause there's nothing they could do
A
He went from right there in the middle
D A
To smack dab in the center of attention
E A
He was picked up, he was cradled
D A
He was given his own freezer bag to live in
E D
And for the first time in his long life
E D
He felt the sunshine on every side
A D
So he set sail like a hangnail
E4 E A E/G#
And waved back to the shore goodbye
F#m D A
His brothers always said it was so crowded
A/C# D E
Well maybe now they'd finally have some space
F#m D
But they were out of balance there
C#4 F#m Bm E4 E
without him in his place
F#m Bm
So he came back from vacation
A E4 E
Out of family obligation
F#m Bm
And rejoined with those four vandals
A E4 E E4 E
For the sake of wearing sandals
A
Now we can't say he did not try
D A
He gave up all his chances to be free
E A
But once you've felt that kind of sunshine
D A
You can't go back to the way you used to be
E D
So when I look down and remember
E D
Something's missing in the middle
A D
May it always be a symbol
E4 E A
One day that will be me
