       The Other 
 







Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: A

[Intro]
A/E G#m C#m B A
 
[Verse]
A/E         G#m
Stuck in traffic on my way
   C#m   B         A
To no particular place
A/E            G#m
No agenda, no master plan
C#m   B       A
No important dates
     A/E        G#m
No reason to be alive at all
   C#m    B      A
As far as I can tell
A/E                    G#m
Except for one small detail
        G#m            C#m
Like a distant ringing bell
        A/E             G#m
And it keeps on calling out to me
        C#m           G#m
Like a lost forgotten lover
      A/E                G#m
So I blast off down the shoulder
        F#m    A       A/E  G#m C#m B A
To go looking for the other
 
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
 
[Verse 2]
A/E             G#m
Driving up the coast
           C#m    B        A
Past the surfers and the seals
A/E              G#m
All them lonely rich folks
         C#m  B       A
Who only know how to steal
A/E               G#m
Science can cure sickness
      C#m     B       A
But what can cure my soul
   A/E             G#m
It won't be long before I'm gone
C#m             A
Laying in some hole
      C#m             A/C#
So I find an ancient payphone
    B                G#m
To tell my mother I love her
     A/E
But she ain't home
    G#m                C#m     B         A/E G#m C#m B A
She must have gone out looking for the other
 
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
 
[Verse]
A/E               G#m
Pull up off the highway
     C#m             B     A
The moon is looking wicked good
   A/E           G#m
I throw my keys into the breeze
     C#m     B       A
And get lost in the woods
    A/E          G#m
I think about my old man
         C#m    B    A
And the mystery of time
      A/E       G#m
When suddenly between the trees
  C#m              A
I see the lake of fire
      C#m
So I jump right in
     E
And take a swim
         C#m              A   C#m
In this pool of unknown colours
    A/E           G#m                G#m   A/E     A/E  G#m C#m B A
And as I swim I begin to brim with visions of the other
 
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
 
[Verse]
A/E             G#m
Found my car a few days later
C#m   B      A
After I came to
A/E                G#m    C#m  B A
Her name was Blue Subaru 19    8 2
A/E
I punched the clutch
     G#m
And kick the gas
     C#m      B     A
And take off in a burst
         A/E                   G#m
Well it wasn't long before the gas was gone
            C#m             A
And we were overcome from thirst
 
[Outro]
      C#m              A
So we found a dusty truckstop
G#m                  F#m
Above the vultures hovered
                 A/E
And I thought it was the end
             G#m
But then I thought again
    C#m
And that was when I took the hand of the other
