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

Slit my throat

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

And then it's born again
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
