Otherside – RHCP

[Intro]
 Em - C - G - D
 
 [Chorus]
 Em        C              G
  How long, how long will I slide?
 D            Em    C
 Separate my side
 G        D                 Em    C
 I don't, don't believe it's bad
 G                   D
 Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
 
 [Verse 1]
 Em                         Bm
 I heard your voice through a photograph
 Em                           Bm
 I thought it up and brought up the past
 Em                          Bm
 Once you know you can never go back
 D                       E*
 I've got to take it on the otherside
 
 [Verse 2]
 Em                    Bm
 Centuries are what it meant to me
 Em                  Bm
 E cemetery where I marry the sea
 Em                     Bm
 Stranger things never change my mind
 D                       E
 I've got to take it on the otherside
 D           E
 Take it on the otherside
 D*
 Take it on
 E*
 Take it on
 
 [Chorus]
 Em        C              G
  How long, how long will I slide?
 D            Em    C
 Separate my side
 G        D                 Em    C
 I don't, don't believe it's bad
 G                   D
 Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
 
 [Verse 3]
 Em                  Bm
 Pour my life into a paper cup
 Em                         Bm
 The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
 Em                    Bm
 She wants to know am I still a slut
 D                       E**
 I've got to take it on the otherside
 
 [Verse 4]
 Em                   Bm
 Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
 Em                  Bm
 E candidate for my soul mate bled
 Em                   Bm
 Push the trigger and pull the thread
 D                       E
 I've got to take it on the otherside
 D           E
 Take it on the otherside
 D*
 Take it on
 E*
 Take it on
 
 [Chorus]
 Em        C              G
  How long, how long will I slide?
 D            Em    C
 Separate my side
 G        D                 Em    C
 I don't, don't believe it's bad
 G                   D
 Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
 
 [Instrumental]

 Bm* - G*
 
 [Bridge]
 Bm*
 Turn me on take me for a hard ride
 G*
 Burn me out leave me on the otherside

 And then it's born again
