Ocasek Ric - This Side Of Paradise

      My favourite album of all time (28 years so far) is 'this side of paradise'
singer Ric Ocasek, guitarist Steve Stevens..

I play it, when I'm drunk, as following. Riff on D


G     D                                G
   The midnight, was rebellious bug you
       D                        G
From inside you want to scream
    D                         G
The comic cut is your arrival
       D                    G  D
Your reflection is obscene
             G                   D
Well, you're looking for another end, doing time
G                          D
 But you still can't turn away
G                               D
Well, you're looking for a real friend, any kind,
G                               D
who wants to play the games you play

G       C            D         D
 On this side of paradise
G              C                     D     D
  Well, you're never gonna go through twice
G     C     D             D
 Stay tuned, at any price
G        Fmaj7       D      D      G
 To this side of paradise

D                                  G
 Cylinder dreams passing in stages
    D                                  G
 Authority changing crims, left to bare
D                                G
 Broadway windows, give caw-cages
D                           G  D
 Where escape is fairly rare
            G                        D
Well, you're looking for another end, doing time,
G                          D
But you still can't turn away
            G                      D
Well, you're looking for a real friend, (friend), any kind,
   G                           D
Who wants to play the games you play

Rpt Chorus
 
G   D                G                     D
        You've got to keep yourself well amused
         G                 D
Pay no attention to the faulty news
            G            D
Set yourself on automatic cruise
G                        D
Sometimes you just got to lose...

Bm       C            D      D
  On this side of paradise
Bm                                   C       D   D
 Well, you're never gonna go through twice
Bm    C     D        D
 Stay tuned, at any price
G        Fmaj7       D   D         G   D
 To this side of paradise
