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

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
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
