R: How long how long will I slide 
      G         Am  F    C  
   Seperate my side   I don't

1. I heard your voice through a photogragh
   Am                          Em
   It thought it up it brought up the past
   Am                     Em
   Once you know you can never go back 
                G              Am
   I've got to take it on the otherside
   
   Am                     Em   
   Centuries are what it meant to me
   Am                  Em 
   A cemetery where I marry the sea
   Am                           Em
   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          Am
   Take it on take it on

R: How long how long...
 
2. Poor 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 is 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
    G          Am        Em C (2x)  
   Take it on take it on

R: How long how long...

   Em
*: Turn me on take me for a hard ride
   C
   Burn me out leave me on the otherside
      Em
   I fell and tell it that it's not my friend 
              C
   I tear it down I tear it down 
                       Am F C G
   And it's born again 

R: How long how long...

   Am   F      C       G                 Am  F
   How long I don't I don't believe it's bad
   C                    G          Am
   Slit my throat it's all I ever
