Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside (Album: Californication (1999))
Am F C G
C: 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
Am Em
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you’ve gone you can never go back
G Am
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
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 Am G Am
Take it on the otherside, Take it on, take it on
[chorus]
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray’s full and I’m spillin’ 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 a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
G Am G Am
Take it on the otherside, Take it on, take it on
[chorus]
Em
B: Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that, it’s not a friend
I tear it down I tear it down, And then it’s born again
[chorus x2]
