[Intro]
C   D


[Verse]
C
And I was in the corner
                    D
I was taking my medicine

And you were in the corner too
                                 C
But I didn't wanna share it with you

How are we ever gonna get any better
                             D
If we're always in the same room?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river
                           C
Now we know that it isn't true

C
We are only ever
                              D
Little sparrows on a mountain side

When the wind came up

And it blew away her footing
                       C
And it forced her into flight

So how are we ever gonna get any better
                         D
Under cover of the same night?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river

Now we know that isn't right


[Bridge]
C   B        Am    C       B       Am
I'm going to buy a sharper set of knives


[Chorus]
Em            F#m     C
So whose side are you on?
           D                  Am
To set me loose like Clovis' sons
               C              D
Their mothers bed to lay them on
       Am          D
Whose side are you on?


[Verse]
C
Caught up in the eye of
                          D
Every storm that passes through

If history is beholden to
                         C
A very different kind of truth

Then how are we ever gonna get any better
                            D
If we're always in the same room?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river

Now we know that isn't true


[Bridge]
C    B       Am    C      B      Am
I'm going to buy a keener set of lies


[Chorus]
Em             F#m     C
And whose side are you on?
          D                  Am
To set me loose like Clovis' sons
              C               D
Their mothers bed to lay them on
      Am           D
Whose side are you on?


Middle 8
    Em
And maybe there has always been
D
Something in the corner hiding
Am
The feeling as a child we had
D
There's something in between the air
Em
And even on the coldest night
D
I generate a heat inside me
Am
And even with the tendon's cut
D
There's something in the corner hiding

In between the air


[Chorus]
Em             F#m     C
And whose side are you on?
          D                  Am
To set me loose like Clovis' sons
              C               D
Their mothers bed to lay them on
      Am           C
Whose side are you on?
      Am           C
Whose side are you on?
      Am           C
Whose side are you on?


[Outro]
C
I was in the corner
                    D
I was taking my medicine

And you were in the corner too
                                  C
But I didn't wanna share it with you
