On the other hand     (video)    (midi)

 

    E ~

 

            E                               E7                       A

1. On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you,

             E                                             B7

    and hold you close to me, all night long.

             E                 E7                         A

    So many lover's games I'd love to play with you,

                  F#                                                 B7

    on that hand there is no reason why it's wrong.

 

                  A                                 E

But on the other hand, there's a golden band,

          B7                                                    E                - E7

to remind me of someone who would not understand.

        A                                                    E

On one hand I could stay and be your loving man,

              B7                                     E

but the reason I must go is on the other hand.

 

+  E ~

 

                 E                      E7                A

2. In your arms I feel the passions, I thought had died,

                 E                                  B7

    when I looked into your eyes I found myself.

                 E                       E7     A

    When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive,

                      F#                                     B7

    I've got to hand it to you, girl, you're something else.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                       B7                                    E

+  Yeah, the reason I must go is on the other hand.
