The Other Side of Summer chords and lyrics - ELVIS COSTELLO

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]The[G] sun struggles up
another beautiful day
And I felt [Em]glad in my own
[D]suspicious [G]way
[C]Yeah, [G]yeah, [Cm]yeah, yeah
Des[G]pite the contra
[Em]diction and con[Am]fusion
Felt [D]tragic without [C]reason
There's malice and there's
[D]magic in every season

[Verse 2]
[G]From the foaming breakers
of the [Em]poisonous [Baug]surf
The [G]other [Em]side of [Am]summer
[D]To [G]the burning forests in
the [Em]hills [Baug]of Astro[Cm]turf
The [Dsus4]other sid[D]e of sum[C]mer
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]The aut[G]omatic gat[Dm]es close up between
[Bb]the shanties and the [A]palace
[Dm]The blowtorch amusements,
the voo[Bb]doo c[A]halice
[Dm]The pale pathetic promises
that [Bb]everybody [A]swallows
[D]A teenage girl is cry[A]ing 'cause she
[D]don't look like a million dollars
So help her if you can
'Cause she don't [Em]seem to
[D]have the attention span

[Verse 4]
[G]From the foaming breakers
of the [Em]poisonous [Baug]surf
[G]The other sid[Em]e of summer[Am]
[D]To [G]the burning forests in the hills[Em]
[Am]of A[Baug]stroturf
[Dsus4]The other [D]side of [C]summer
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
[C]Was it [G]a millio[Dm]naire who said
"Ima[Bb]gine no posses[A]sions"?
[Dm]A poor little schoolboy who said [Bb]"We
don't [A]need no lessons"?
The [Dm]rabid rebel dogs ran[Bb]sack
the shampoo [A]shop
[D]The pop princess is
[A]downtown shoot[D]ing up
And if that goddess if fit for burning
The sun will struggle up the world
will still keep turning

[Verse 6]
[G]Madman standing by the side
of the road saying
"Look at my eyes, [Em]look at my eyes,
look at my [D]eyes, look at my [G]eyes"
[C]Yeah, [G]yeah, [Cm]yeah, yeah
[G]Now you can't af[Em]ford to fake [Am]all the
drugs your [D]parents used to [C]take
Because of their mis[D]takes

[Verse 7]
you'd better be wide awake
[G]From the foaming breakers
of the [Em]poisonous [Baug]surf
The [G]other [Em]side of sum[D]mer
[G]To the burning forests in the hil[Em]ls
[Baug]of Astro[G]turf
[Dsus4]The other [D]side of [C]summer[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]The mightiest rose
The [Em]absence of per[Baug]fume
[G]The casual [Em]killers
The milit[D]ary curfew
[G]The cardboard city
An [Em]unwanted birth[Baug]day
[Dsus4]The other side [D]of summe[C]r
[G]The dancing

[Verse 9]
was desperate,
the music [Em]was [G]worse
They bury your dream[Em]s and
[Am]dig up t[D]he worthless
Good[G]night
God bless
And kiss "Good[Em]bye" to the [Baug]earth
The [G]other [D]side of [C]summer[G]
The other side [D]of [C]summer[G]
The other [D]side of [C]summer[G]
The other side of sum[C]mer[G]
The other [D]side [C]of sum[G]mer
The other side [D]of sum[G]mer
The other side
[C]The [G]other side
The other [D]side, [C]oh[G]
