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

[Bridge] 
Em* Turn me on take me for a hard ride
C* Burn me out leave me on the otherside
Em* I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend 
C* I tear it down I tear it down
And then it's born again [Instrumental] 
Am - F - C - G
