[Intro]
G  Bm  C  Em7 D


[Verse 1]
  G                                 Bm
I know He's in the grand refrain of hymns and melodies of praise
     C                              Em7             D
That echo through the stained glass underneath some steeple
  G                                     Bm           G
I know He's there when they testify how He showed up just in time
   C                            Em7            D
To split the seas wide open and rescue all His people


[Chorus]
    G
But where is God in real life
                                           C
When it all breaks down and it's not alright
                           Em7           D
You're in the middle of it, stuck in the middle of it
G                                              F
Where is God when your soul's not well and you feel like you're all by yourself
C                              Cm
Wondering why He hasn't helped
                       G  F  C  Cm
He's in the middle of it


[Verse 2]
  G                                  Bm
I know He's there so tenderly when a sinner's heart starts coming clean
C                            G           D
Leaning in so close to their broken hallelujah
  G                                         Bm
I know He's there for the final breath of a grateful saint who finds their rest
        C                              Em7      D
As they wake up in His presence in the glory of Heaven


[Chorus]
    G
But where is God in real life
                                           C
When it all breaks down and it's not alright
                           Em7           D
You're in the middle of it, stuck in the middle of it
G                                              F
Where is God when your soul's not well and you feel like you're all by yourself
C                              Cm
Wondering why He hasn't helped
Cm
He's in the middle of it


[Bridge]
Am7                               G/B
I can't tell you why sometimes He answers right away
      C                                 Em7              D
While other times He's silent, as if He likes to make us wait
      Am7                               G/B
Can't tell you how He chooses where His miracles will fall
C                                          D                  G  F
Some will see them their whole lives, some won't see them at all


[Outro]
C  Cm  G
Ooh yeah
                  F
In the middle of it
                 C
In the middle of it
                  Cm  G
In the middle of it
 F  C  Cm  G
Ooh oh
 F   C  G  F  C  Cm
Ooh oh
G  F C  Cm
                       G
He's in the middle of it
                       F
He's in the middle of it
                       C
He's in the middle of it
Cm  G  F  C  Cm
 Ooh
                       G
He's in the middle of it
 F  C  Cm
Ooh
                         G
He's in the middle of it
