^{Ami F C G
Ami} How long how long ^F will I slide ^C
Separa ^G te my side I ^Ami do ^F n’t ^C
I don’t ^G believe it’s bad ^{Ami F}
Slit my ^C throat, it’s all I ^G ever

^Ami I heard your voice through a photog ^Emi raph
^Ami I thought it up it brought ^Emi up the past
^Ami Once you know you can never ^Emi go back
I’ve got to take it ^G on the other ^Ami side

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
^G Take it on the othersi ^Ami de
Take it ^G on, take it ^Ami on

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

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray’s full and I’m spilling 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

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

<sup>Emi C Emi C

Emi</sup> Turn me on take me for a hard ride
^C Burn me out leave me on the otherside
^Emi I yell and tell it that it’s not my friend
I tear it down, I ^C tear it down and then it’s born again

^{Ami F C G}
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
How long, I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat it’s all I ever
