The American And Florence / Nobody's Side Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]You want to lose your only friend?
Well, keep it up, you're doing fine
[F]Why this humiliation?
[Dm]Why treat me like a fool?
[Am]I've taken shit for seven years
And I won't take [F]it anymore
I'm only teasing Soviet[Dm]s
With gentle bonhomie
[Am]And you've a better reason
to be anti- them than me.
[C]There's a [G]time [F]and
there's a [Am]place.
[Em]Is this the girl who [Am]always said
She [Em]wants to know the truth?
There's a [G]time [F]and there's
a [Am]place...
1956 - - Budapest is rising
1956 - - Budapest is rising
I'd h0ave thought you'd support
Any attack [F]on these [Am]people
1956 - - Budapest is rising
On the people who ran
[F]Mindlessly [G]over your [C]childhood
Don't let them [Bb]fool you for
[Dm]Thirty years [Am]on they're
the same
1956 - - Budapest is fighting
1956 - - Budapest is falling
They see chess as a war
Playing [F]with pawns just like
[Am]Poland
1956 - - Budapest is dying
If you walk out on me
They [F]will have [G]won their
first [C]battle
Wouldn't your [Bb]father
Have [Dm]begged you to stay [E]in the game?
He [Dm]would - - but he didn't [D]know [E]you
[Am]He'd [F]loathe your [Am]behavi[G]our
and so do [F]I - -
Why'd you have to [C]do this [F]to [G]me?
[Em][C][F][Csus4][C][F][G]
What's going on around me
[Dm]Is barely making [G]sense
[Am]I need some explanations fast
[F]I see my pre[G]sent partner[Dm]
In the imper[F]fect tense
[Am]And I don't see how we can last
I feel [Em]I need a change [F]of cast
Maybe I'm on [C]nobody's side
[F]And when he gives me [G]reasons
[Dm]To justify each [G]move
[Am]They're getting harder to believe
I know [F]this can't [G]contin[F]ue
[Dm]I've still a lot to pr[F]ov[G]e
[Am]There must be more I could achieve
But I don't have the nerve
to [G]leave[F]
Everybody's [C]playing [G]the game
But nobody's [Em]rules [C]are [F]the same
Nobody's [C]on nobody's [G]side[F]
Better learn to go [C]in [G]alone
Recognize you're [Em]out
[C]on your [F]own
Nobody's on [C]nobody's [G]side
The one I should [F]not think of
[Dm]Keeps rolling through my mind[F]
[Am]And I don't want to let that go
[F]No lovers eve[G]r fai[F]thful[Dm]
No contract [F]truly [G]signed
[Am]There's nothing certain
left to know
And how the cracks [Em]be gin to[G] s[F]how!
Never make a [C]promise [G]or plan
Take a little [Em]love [C]where [F]you can
Nobody's on [C]nobody's [G]side[F]
Never stay too long [C]in [G]your bed
Never lose your [Em]heart,
use [C]your head[F]
Nobody's on [C]nobody's [G]side
[Gm]Never [D]take a[Gm][D][Am][E][Am][C]
[Am]stra[E]nger[C]'s[Csus4] ad vice[C][F][G]
Never let a [Em]friend fool [C]you twice[F]
Nobody's on [C]nobody's
[F]sid[G]e[F]
Everybody's [C]playing
[F]the game[G]
But nobody's [Em]rules [C]are [F]the same
Nobody's on [C]nobody's [F]side[G][F]
Never leave a mo[C]ment [G]too soon
Never waste a [Em]hot [C]aftern[F]oon
Nobody's [C]on nobody's [G]side[F]
Never stay [C]a minute [G]too long
Don't forget the [Em]best will [C]go wrong
[F]Nobody's on nob[C]ody's sid[G]e[F]
Never be the [C]first to be[G]lieve
[Em]Never [C]be the [F]last to deceive
Nobody's [C]on nobody's [G]side[F]
Never make [C]a promise [G]or plan
Take a little [Em]love where
[C]you can[F]
Nobody's on nobody's side
