Always On Your Side

INTRO:  Bb/F  F  Bb/F  F

VERSE:

    Bb/F             F             
 My yesterdays are all boxed up and
Bb/F         F
 neatly put away
Dm                Dm/C           
 But ev'ry now and then you come 
   G/B
to mind
Bb                     F         
 Cause you were always waiting to
    Dm                 G7
 be picked to play the game
               Bb                  
 But when your name was called, you
  C               Dm    Dm/C
 found a place to hide
          Bb               C      
 When you knew that I was always 
       Bb/F  F  Bb/F   F
on your side

VERSE: (STING)

      Bb/F            F            
 Well everything was easy then, so 
Bb/F          F
sweet and innocent
Dm              Dm/C         G/B
 my demons and my angels reappeared
Bb             F            Dm  
 Leavin' only traces of the man 
               G7
you thought I'd be
      Bb                 C     
 To afraid to hear the words I'd 
           Dm     Dm/C
always feared
         Bb            C          
 Leavin' you with only questions 
        Bb/F   F  Bb/F  F
all these years

Chorus:

     Dm                          
 Now is there someplace far away, 
     A7/C#
someplace where all is clear

F/C                          G
 Easy to start over with the ones 
you hold so dear
    Bb                         
 Or are you left to wander, all 
  Eb
alone, eternally
       Gm                     F/A 
 This isn't how it's really meant 
    Bb
to be
F/A     Gm                    
 No it isn't how it's really 
F/A      Csus  C
meant to be

VERSE:
            Bb               F    
 Well they say that love is in the
     Bb/F          F
 air, never is it clear,
Dm                Dm/C           
 How to pull it close and make it
   G/B
 stay
Bb                    F          
 If butterflies are free to fly, 
    Dm          G7
and so they fly away
         Bb            C          
 And I'm left to carry on and 
    Dm  Dm/C
wonder why
         Bb                C      
 Even through it all, I'm always 
       Bb/F  F  Bb/F  F
on your side

     Dm                          
 But is there someplace far away, 
      A7/C#
someplace where all is clear
F/C                          G
 Easy to start over with the ones 
you hold so dear
    Bb                        
 Or are we left to wander, all 
 Eb
alone, eternally
      Gm                     F/A  
 This isn't how it's really meant 
   Bb
to be
F/A     Gm                    
 No it isn't how it's really 
F/A      Csus  C
meant to be

VERSE:
            Bb               F    
 Well they say that love is in the
     Bb/F          F
 air, never is it clear,
Dm                Dm/C           
 How to pull it close and make it
   G/B
 stay
Bb                    F          
 If butterflies are free to fly, 
    Dm          G7
why do they fly away
         Bb          C            
 Leavin' me to carry on and wonder
  Dm  Dm/C
 why
        Bb                 C      
 Was it you that kept me wondering
              Dm   Dm/C
 through this life
          Bb                C      
 When you know that I was always on
Bb/F       F   Bb/F   F  Bb  C
 your side
