Intro
A E B E x2
[Verse 1]
C#m
Well another day's gone by
B
The dawn so long ago
A
And the memories keep flying high
E A
And the moments go so slow
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Verse 2]
C#m
And I'm five kinds of senseless
B
My heart is beating slow
A
Yeah, I got struck by lightning
E A
And I was sad to see it go
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Interlude]
C#m B A E A
[Chorus]
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Verse 3]
C#m
Well I'm sitting at the head,
B
Stealing my own show
A
And the plates are up on sticks
E A
And I'm spinning tales of woe
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Verse 4]
C#m
And there once was an answer
B
But now I don't care to know
A
In the service of the question
E A
I just had to see it go
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Interlude]
C#m B A E A
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Verse 5]
C#m
And I'm easy in the ether,
B
Swinging to and fro
A
Lighter than a feather
E A
With a mountain range in tow
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Verse 6]
C#m
And the fruits of my own labor
B
Bears a seed I'll never sow
A
Yeah, they cut down my pride
E A
But I was glad to see it go
A E
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
B E
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
[Outro]
A E
I'm on both sides of the line
B E C#m B A
Bitter on the fruit
E A
Sweet on the rind
