  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                   G
  Slit my throat it's all I ever

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              Am
I've got to take it on the otherside    (pause)

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside

G              Am         G           Am
Take it on the otherside, take it on, take it on

  Refrain

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside    (longue pause)

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside

Take it on the otherside, take it on, take it on

  Refrain

    Em                        C

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down and then it's born again

Am  F  C  G  w/ solo

  Refrain  puis  (How long) I don't
                 I don't believe it's bad
                 Slit my throat it's all I ever
