[Verse 1]
ACarbon monoxide, making me choke, no A.C., and the radio's broke
ACars backed up, far as you can see, seems like I've been waiting here for all eternity
Oh and jEust in case you're wondering, I'll tell you where I am
I'm Dright here, right here, stuck right here in the middle of this...
[Chorus 1]
ATraffic jam, I haven't Gmoved one inch from Dthis here spot
ATraffic jam, the fGreeway's one big Dparking lot
ATraffic jam, my rGadiator's boiling Dhot
And I'm sEtuck right here in the middle, right here in the middle of a traffic Ajam
[Verse 2]
ATrapped inside, my automobile, cobweb's growin, on the steerin' wheel
ANow I'm no genius, but one thing I know, I shouldn't have had that bag of bran muffins an hour and a half ago
Yeah and Eif you need to find me, I'll tell you where I am
I'm rDight here, right here, stuck smack dab in the middle of this...
[Chorus 2]
ATraffic jam, I haven't Gmoved one inch from Dthis here spot
ATraffic jam, the fGreeway's one big Dparking lot
ATraffic jam, well I Gthought we were movin' but I Dguess we're not
Cause I'm Estuck right here in the middle, right here in the middle of a traffic Ajam

AStuck in the middle of a traffic jam, yeah yeah yeah yeah

AThere's a yuppie on a cellular phone, I'm gonna puke if I here any more
AThere's a motorcycle zoomin' by me, watch what happens when I open my door
ANow we're all goin' nowhere fast, well I guess that's perfectly clear
AI left home five hours ago, and I can still see my house from here
So if Eanybody's tryin' to find me, well I'll tell you where I am

Standard Tuning EADGBe

[Verse 1]

Carbon monoxide, making me choke, no A.C., and the radio's broke

Cars backed up, far as you can see, seems like I've been waiting here for all eternity

Oh and just in case you're wondering, I'll tell you where I am

I'm right here, right here, stuck right here in the middle of this...

[Chorus 1]

A G D

Traffic jam, I haven't moved one inch from this here spot

A G D

Traffic jam, the freeway's one big parking lot

A G D

Traffic jam, my radiator's boiling hot

E A

And I'm stuck right here in the middle, right here in the middle of a traffic jam

[Verse 2]

Trapped inside, my automobile, cobweb's growin, on the steerin' wheel

Now I'm no genius, but one thing I know, I shouldn't have had that bag of bran muffins an hour and a half ago

Yeah and if you need to find me, I'll tell you where I am

I'm right here, right here, stuck smack dab in the middle of this...

[Chorus 2]

A G D

Traffic jam, I haven't moved one inch from this here spot

A G D

Traffic jam, the freeway's one big parking lot

A G D

Traffic jam, well I thought we were movin' but I guess we're not

E A

Cause I'm stuck right here in the middle, right here in the middle of a traffic jam

[Bridge]

Stuck in the middle of a traffic jam, yeah yeah yeah yeah

E D

Bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper

[Verse 3]

There's a yuppie on a cellular phone, I'm gonna puke if I here any more

There's a motorcycle zoomin' by me, watch what happens when I open my door

Now we're all goin' nowhere fast, well I guess that's perfectly clear

I left home five hours ago, and I can still see my house from here

So if anybody's tryin' to find me, well I'll tell you where I am

Right here, right here, stuck right here in the middle of this...

[Chorus 3]

Traffic jam, the freeway's one big parking lot

A G D

Traffic jam, now my back teeth are floatin' and my nerves are shot

And I'm stuck right here in the middle, stuck right here in the middle of a traffic jam
