This Side Of Morning

Nobody's perfect, and that's something
that I'm sure she'll know
Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times
is like trying to divide ice from snow
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi
And said "Guess were to go"
And the driver turned about and said,
"Finding what you want is like
Trying to divide ice from snow"
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love is a hazard
That I never guessed
But from this side of morning
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
Nobody's helpless, although
I've never felt this helpless before
And trying to persuade myself not to think about her
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
And so I put down the bottle
While in my head time is collapsing
And the currents run cold
So I can curse her memory
But don't try telling me that she was not
An emerald in a mountain of coal
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
At the end of the rainbow.
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love is a hazard
That I never guessed
But from this side of morning
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive
But will forget
So take my from this party, driver
put me back to bed
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
So if this taxi is for hire
I'll get in the back
Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that
I'm sure she'll know
And trying to persuade myself
Not to think about her is like
Trying to tell the crockels not to crow
Or like trying to tell the striker
Not to think about the goal.
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love is a hazard
That I never guessed
But from this side of morning
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.

"This Side Of Morning" Del Amitri
This song was recently transcribed by helmers@chemie.fu-berlin.de (Juergen
Helmers).
I made some changes (changes are defined as corrections and personal
preferences).
I put the capo on the 2nd fret, changed the intro, changed the end of each
verse and the end of the song. Either way... great tune.
