[Chorus 1]
        Em  G A
Side by side
         Em  G A
Time and time
         Em
Wherever we are
  G          A
Together for life
        Em
Side by side


[Verse 1]
E         D    A        E
April the seventeenth in 1997
      D       A
We’re rolling tape together
         E             D               A
Tracking East Coast at Trax East with Steve
                     C              G      E
We punch the tape in turn it up and drive away


[Verse 2]
E              D      A
Flashback it’s Ninety-Three
                  E           D        A
It’s summer in September blue landline rings
                  E          D              A
You say come over Friday and bring your Les Paul
                   C              G
We plug in for the first time and turn it up


[Chorus 2]
Em G A        Em  G A
      Side by side
         Em  G A
Time and time
         Em       G          A
Wherever we are together for life
        Em
Side by side


[Verse 3]
E               D      A
New Year’s it’s Ninety-Nine
                 E          D       A
We’re faded on a Thursday before midnight
                     E
In a basement in New Brunswick
    D        A
Red cups red wine
                   C            G
Two hundred voices sing with us for the first time


[Chorus 3]
Em G A        Em  G A
      Side by side
         Em  G A
Time and time
         Em       G          A
Wherever we are together for life
Side by side

[Verse 4]
       E               D        A
We’re split-screen Two Thousand Three
                       E
Left you reading a magazine
         D       A
My drink makes a ring
                    E            D     A
Right around the alabaster from 2000 B.C
                         C            G
But we’re staring at the same Jackson Pollock painting


[Chorus 4]
Em G A        Em  G A
      Side by side
         Em  G A
Time and time
         Em       G          A
Wherever we are together for life
N.C.
Side by side
