The Other Me by Joe Jackson
The Other Me
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Eb
Capo:no capo
[INTRO]
2 x Eb Cm Bb
Eb Cm Bb
I guess we can still be friends
Eb Cm Bb
I guess we can talk at least
Cm Bb
But if we were seventeen
Ab Cm Bb
Imagine the things we'd do
Eb Cm Bb
I know that those days are over
Eb Cm Bb
I'm glad that those games are won
Cm Bb Ab
And the winners ride off into the sunset
Gm G
But it's not the same for you
Cm Bb
And I don't want to play
Ab Db
Those nasty games that adults play
Cm Bb
But I can't let you go
Db Bb
And I can't see another way
Ab Eb Bb
And I know that she's the only one for me
Ab Eb Bb
But you know that if I could split in two
Ab Eb
The other me - would stay all night
Ab Eb
The other me - would hold you tight
Ab Eb Cm Bb
The other me - would be the only one for you
Eb Cm Bb
When I see you there alone
Eb Cm Bb
It almost breaks my heart
Cm Bb
But it doesn't break enough
Ab Bb Fm
For me to break my whole life apart
Eb Cm Bb
I guess we could still be friends
Eb Cm Bb
And we can talk all night
Cm Bb
But I have to bite my tongue
Ab Gm G
And sometimes words don't come out right
Cm Bb
We're old enough to know
Ab Db
What we can think or say out loud
Cm Bb
To know that hearts are not just
Db Bb
Cards to play when two's a crowd
Ab Eb Bb
And I know that she's the only one for me
Ab Eb Bb
But you know that if I could split in two
Ab Eb
The other me - would stay all night
Ab Eb
The other me - would hold you tight
Ab Eb Cm Bb
The other me - would be the only one for you
Eb Ab
The other me . .
Eb Db Ab Ab/G Eb
Would take you so far away from here
Cm
And he'd be . .
Bb
A man with a mission . .
Ab
The other me . .
Fm F# Bb
Might even be better than this one
Ab Eb Bb
And I know that she's the only one for me
Ab Eb Bb
But you know that if I could split in two
Ab Eb
The other me - would stay all night
Ab Eb
The other me - would hold you tight
Ab Cm B Eb F
The other me - would be the only one for you
Ab Fm Gm Cm
