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