1x Intro
Verse 1:
You were almost kind
You were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time
That you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you

Don't you, don't you

Either way?
Verse 2:
You were almost kind
You were almost true
Why give away that other side of you?
Happens everytime
So it must be true
Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse Chords]
Voice 1:
Either way?
Either way?
Voice 2: (underneath)
Were you ever kind?
Were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
Happened everytime
So it must be true
Where did you learn it's either him or you?
Solo (the way I play it...):
You'll have to listen to the CD to get the rhythm exactly right, these are just the notes.
There are basically 4 parts, one after the other.
Part 1:
e:--------------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------------|
B:--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------|
G:----13--13--11--11--11-|-13--13--11--11--11--9-|-11--11--9--9--9--4-----4--6--4--------------|

*In the real version a violin plays part 3 starting at the beginning of part 2, and the guitar
plays an adaptation of part 4 underneath starting at part 3 (not as confusing as it sounds--
listen to the cd!) If you have a violin handy (and someone who can play it) this works
well, if not this version is a good alternative. For those of you who want it, here is the
violin tab:
Part 3 for violin (played during parts 2-4)
