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

 And then it's born again

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