                             Stuck in the Middle - Four Year Strong
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jack Valla (guitarist of The Great Indoors)
E-mail: jack_valla@yahoo.com

This is the acoustic version from the album In Some Way, Shape, Or Form performed for ATP! 
You can view it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYhhx9Yxe8
This is quite different to the original and uses lots of techniques and odd chords that are 
a bitch to tab but I did my best. 
But please be my guest to correct me because I am sure I have got this about 50% right.
Also I wouldn't have been able to do this without the tab for original 
by guitarhero123 so huge HUGE thanks to 
them! 

Anyway, go play!

(Breakdown) Play around with this because Dan sometimes changes it up a bit

G|--(----Insert cool scale thing----)----------------------------------------------------|
D|--(-----I can't work out yet------)----------------------------------------------------|

E|--(-------------------------------)----------------------------------------------------|

Then it is the intro until "and my life is..." where it goes back into the chorus 

The outro is the breakedown again with a even more complex scale thing and the chord(x76777)

Good luck working out the bits I am too simple to work out and please add to this tab or create a new one 
because I wanna know how to play this all the way through as much as anyone else!
