Otherside – RHCP

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