The Other Side

Key: DmHard

Dsus4

Chords riff

DmDsus4GG7FCABbE

Notes:

The Dm chord in the intro/Chorus is only strummed for one beat, then immedately

you play the Dsus4 chord

The G in the intro/Chorus is stummed for two beats, then G7 for one, then you

play riff directly into the Dm and the Dsus4

All that together is the intro/Chorus

Looks like this:

DmDsus4GGG7

The riff is followed immediately by a Dm You don't have to play the riff

at all if you don't want, you can just strum another G7 chord, but it will

sound more like David's piano if you at least play the riff a few times

Plus your index finger is already on the F if from fretting the G7, and if

you fret the D with your ring finger, the riff sets your fingers up for the Dm

I tried to space the position of the chords to go with the lyrics Play along

with the song, you should be able to hear the changes

Dm Dsus4 Meet me on the other siGde G7 Dm Dsus4

Meet me on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

See you on the other Gside G7 F

FHoney now if I'm hoCnest

I still don't know what Dmlove is

Another mirage Gfolds into the haze of time Arecalled

And now the floodgates cannot Dmhold

All my Csorrow all my Bbrage

A teardrop fFalls on every pGage Dm Dsus4

Meet me on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

Meet me on the other Gside G7 F

FMaybe I oughta Cmention

It was never my Dmintention

To harm you or your Gkin

Are you so scared to look witAhin

The ghosts are crawling on our Dmskin

We may Crace and we may Bbrun

We'll not Fundo what has been Gdone

EOr change the moment when it's gDmoneDsus4

Dm Dsus4 Meet me on the other siGde G7 Dm Dsus4

Meet me on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other Gside G7 F

FI know it would be Coutrageous

To come on all courDmageous

And offer you my Ghand

To pull you up on to dry Aland

When all I got is sinking Dmsand

The trick ain't Cworth the time it Bbbuys

I'm sick of Fhearing my own Glies

EAnd love's a raven when it fDmlieDsus4s

Meet me on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other Gside G7 Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other Gside G7 F

FHoney now if I'm Chonest

I Astill don't know what Dmlove is

New horizons

Key: DCapo 1Hard

E/D

Chords:

DD6GABmFE/DEm

You'll need to listen in closely to hear how it changes from D to D6 and back; the

pattern is the same throughout the song.

- VERSE 1 -

DWeight on D6my Dshoulders D6

DBut I'm walking D6so Dtall D6

GOut into the new horizon D D6 D D6

DWonder in D6eveDrything D6

DNo matter D6howD great or sD6mall

GHowlin' like the midnight

GHowlin' like the midnight sun D D6 D D6

AAnd this ain't no pale refGlection

BmThis is the Freal thing E/D

GNew horAizon

GNew horAizon withinD

- VERSE 2 -

And your heart ain't yours to control

No matter how tight the reigns

Love will find its own direction

A time to reap

A time to sow

And many a time to cry in vain

But now the time to celebrate

The glory of this imperfection

Same thing that's scrawled across the stars

Is written under our skin

New horizon

New horizon within

- BRIDGE 1 -

GThings come too Aeasy, I get Emsuspicious A

GThings come too Aslow, I get Embored A

GIf it don't workA out I get sEmuperstitious F

GBut if it does, Aoh my word D

- VERSE 3 -

So I'm gathering the remnants of beauty

From this wilderness in spin

And now I'm gonna fly my own flag

'Cause I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn

That's been so long breaking

Now there ain't nowhere

There ain't nowhere I won't write your name

There's a time to search for understanding

Sometimes you just gotta sing

New horizon

New horizon within

- BRIDGE 2 -

Baby there's no need to get precious

When you know that everything must change

Complacency, it can be so vicious

Turn this love into a cage

- ENDING -

ASame thing that's scrawled Gacross the stars

Is it God by another name

Who's to say how it goes

All I know is

I'm back in the world again

Who's to say how it goes

All I know is

I'm back in the world again

Back in the world again

It's the only way to be

I'm naked like a tree

It's the only way to be

I'm naked like a tree

Key: DCapo 1Easy

DFriday night I'm going nowhere

GAll the lights are changing green to red D G

DTurning over TV stations

GSituations running through my head D G

DLooking back through time

You know it's Gclear that I've been blind

I've been a foolD G

DTo open up my heart

To all that Gjealousy, that bitterness, that DridiculeG Em

DSaturday I'm running wild

GAnd all the lights are changing red to greDen G

DMoving through the crowd I'm pushing

GChemicals all rushing in my bloodstream D G

DOnly wish that you were here

You know I'm sGeeing it so clear

I've been afraid D G

DTo show you how I really feel

GAdmit to some of those bad miDstakes I've made G

DIf you want it A

Come and get it Em

Crying out loAud D

The love that I waAs

Giving you wEmas

Never in dGoubt D

Let go of yoAur heart

Let go of yoEmur head

And feel itG now

Babylon, D G

Babylon D G

Sunday all the lights of London

Shining sky is fading red to blue

Kicking through the Autumn leaves

And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home

You know I'm feeling so alone

I can't believe

Climbing on the stair

I turn around to see you smiling there

In front of me

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

Let go of your heart

Let go of your head

And feel it now

Let go of your heart

Let go of your head

And feel it now

Let go of your heart

Let go of your head

And feel it now

Let go of your heart

Let go of your head

And feel it now
