"Ugly Side" by Blue October
from the album "History for Sale"
Notes: You can play this one with either power chords or open chords; on an acoustic,
power chords for the verses and open chords for the chorus sound pretty good.
Like most Blue October songs, this one would sound better if you had violin
accompaniment. I whistle the violin parts, and it sounds OK. Comments are

I must have sneezed
On knees I freeze
I mean I just choked up
But somehow I slept
I dream, I mean
I dreamt of nothing
I'm able to breathe
A sweet relief
Now that you're here for me
A northern degree
Dove into me
Now I'm recovering
(Chorus)
I only want you to see
My favorite part of me
And not my ugly side
And not my ugly side
So hook up a C.B. wave away
For conversation flow
I'm shown to your cage to wage this rage
Don't let me go
A kick and a scream is all that seems
To mean a lot thus far (lot thus far...)
I won't let you on my stage, my page
You can't know
Yet you have to know!
[Repeat Chorus twice, then outro:]
Bm (sustained)
So calm...
And it's so calm...
And now it's dark
I look for you to light my heart
I'm between the moon and where you are
I know I can't be... far
