 Chorus:
 How long how long will I slide
 Separate my side I don_t
 I don_t believe it_s bad
 Slit my throat
 It_s all I ever
 
 Verse:
 Am E
 I heard your voice through a photograph
 Am E
 I thought it up it brought up the past
 Am E
 Once you know you can never go back
 G Am
 I_ve got to take it on the otherside
 Am E
 Centuries are what it meant to me
 Am E
 A cemetery where I marry the sea
 Am E
 Stranger things could never change my mind
 G Am
 I_ve got to take it on the otherside
 G Am
 Take it on the otherside
 G
 Take it on
 Am
 Take it on
 
 Chorus
 
 Pour my life into a paper cup
 The ashtray_s full and I_m spillin_ my guts
 She wants to know am I still a slut
 I_ve got to take it on the otherside
 
 Scarlet starlet and she_s in my bed
 A candidate for my soul mate bled
 Push the trigger and pull the thread
 I_ve got to take it on the otherside
 Take it on the otherside
 Take it on
 Take it on
 
 Chorus
 
 Turn me on take me for a hard ride
 Burn me out leave me on the otherside
 I yell and tell it that
 It_s not my friend
 I tear it down I tear it down
 And then it_s born again
 
 Chorus
 
 How long I don_t believe it_s bad
 Slit my throat
 It_s all I ever
