Otherside – RHCP

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