THIS SIDE OF THE MORNING - Del Amitri
Intro: E - A - E - A - E - A - B 3x
E F#m A B
No - body's perfect
E F#m
and that's something that I'm sure
A B
she'll know
E F#m
Cause trying to tell her lies
A B
from the truth at times
G#7 A A
is like trying to divide ice from snow
E F#m A B
And when I knew it was over
E F#m
I jumped into a taxi and said just
A B
guess were to go
E F#m
And the driver turned a - bout and said,
A B
Fi - nding what you want
G#7 A A
is like trying to divide ice from snow
Chorus:
B B
So here I sit
A A
rolling back to bed
B
Knowing love is a hazard
G#m C#m A
That I never guessed
E A
But from this side of morning
B B/A -
I couldn't care less
B/Ab B/F# E
I couldn't care less.
(E) - A - E - A - E - A - B 2x
E F#m A B
No - body's helpless
E F#m
Although I' - ve never felt this
A B
helpless be - fore
E F#m
And trying to per - suade myself
A B
not to think a - bout her
G#7 A A
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
E F#m A B
so I put down the bottle
E F#m
While in my head time is col - lapsing and the
A B
currents run cold
E F#m
So I can curse her memory
A B
But don't try telling me
G#7
that she was not an emerald
A
in a mountain of coal
G#7
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
A
At the end of the rainbow.
Chorus:
B B
So here I sit
A A
rolling back to bed
B
Knowing love is a hazard
C#m A F#m
That I never guessed
E A
But from this side of morning
B B/A - B/Ab - B/F#
I couldn't care less
Break:
B
And she's the kind of girl
A E
who won't for - give but will for - get
A
So take my from this party, driver
B
put me back to bed
B
I wanted to be loved
A E
but just got laughed at in - stead
A F#m F#m
So if this taxi is for hire
A
I'll get in the back
F#m
Just to feel the friction of the tarmac
B7
and the tyres.
E - A - E - A - E - A - B 2x
E F#m A B
So no - body's perfect
E F#m
and that's something that I'm sure
A B
she'll know
E F#m
And trying to per - suade myself
A B
not to think a - bout her
G#7 A
Is like trying to tell the crockels not to crow
G#7
Or like trying to tell the striker
A
Not to think about the goal
Outro:
B B
So here I sit
