verses :

Am Em
i heard your voice through a photograph
Am Em
i thought it up it brought up the past
Am Em
once you know you can never go back
G A
i’ve got to take it on the otherside

Am Em
centuries are what it meant to me
Am Em
a cemetery where i marry the sea
Am Em
stranger things could never change my mind
G A
i’ve got to take it on the otherside
G A
take it on the otherside
G
take it on
A
take it on

Am F C
how long how long will i slide
G Am . . F C
separate my side i don’t
G Am . . F
i don’t believe it’s bad
C
slit my throat
G
it’s all i ever

Am Em
pour my life into a paper cup
Am Em
the ashtray’s full and i’m spillin’ my guts
Am Em
she wants to know Am i still a slut
G A
i’ve got to take it on the otherside

Am Em
scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed
Am Em
a candidate for my soul mate bled
Am Em
push the trigger and pull the thread
G A
i’ve got to take it on the otherside
G A
take it on the otherside
G
take it on
G
take it on

Am F C
how long how long will i slide
G Am . . F C
separate my side i don’t
G Am . . F
i don’t believe it’s bad
C
slit my throat
G
it’s all i ever

burn me out leave me on the otherside

and then it’s born again

G Am . . F C
separate my side i don’t
G Am . . F
i don’t believe it’s bad
C
slit my throat
G
it’s all i ever
