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

 Slit my throat
 E
 it's all I ever
 
 F#m (one strum down)
