After a great deal of rewriting of lyrics and changing chords, I have finally reached the point where I am satisfied ( at least that I can't probably do much better than this). It did not start out as a love song, but somehow managed to twist and turn and eventually get there. Still is kind of a sad song, but not played in the blues style at all. I am going to delete the old post of the original that I posted to avoid any confusion.

I hope you like it....  I will try to get my version out sometime soon.

{t:The Other Side}

verse 1

[D]Tonight I heard a cryptic [A]message
Oh it[G] came from the other [D]side
[D] it knew my troubles,  and [A]every heartache
every [G]reason why  I 've ever   [D]cried

[D]Said it knew the pain that [A] I was feeling,
Be[G]neath  my crooked [D] smile
And [D]all  the lonely feelings, I’ve [A]ever  known
That [G]haunt me  all  the [D ]while

verse 2

[D]The other side knows the [A ]buried truth,
and my [G]deep secrets never [D]told
[D]It recalled those  loveless  [A] memories
that [G]has turned my heart stone [D] cold

[D]It knows all  fears  in[A]side my head, 
that [G]sometimes scream with [D]rage
As I [D]cry out for love to[A] help me  escape
from [ G]  this cold, steel like[D] cage

Chorus
[G]Oh the message from my re[Bm]flection, as I [G]look into the[A] mirror
it’s[G] mired in lyric, yet  be[Bm]tween the lines i [G] now see it so much  [A]clearer
but [Bm]hidden within my[G] inner self, its [D] always been my  sweetest [G]lie
that [D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye

Verse 3
[D] The other side sees my [A]demons
and  [G] allthe false dreams I [D]chase
[D]It knows my fears and  it [A]knows my hopes 
and [G]the harsh  reality I [D]face

And it[D] hears the quiet voice [A]inside of me,
When[G] I softly call   your [D] name
and[D]  whisper that I'm still   in [A]love with you
and [G] wonder if you feel the [D]same

Chorus
[G]Oh the message from my re[Bm]flection, as I [G]look into the[A] mirror
it’s[G] mired in lyric, yet  be[Bm]tween the lines i [G] now see it so much  [A]clearer
but [Bm]hidden within my[G] inner self, its [D] always been my  sweetest [G]lie
that [D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye

[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye
[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye
[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye

I wrote this poem....
would like to make it into a blues style song.... but can't figure out the music yet

I put a couple of chords in here - if i'm not allowed to - just let me know and i'll remove them

Just about a guy that looks into the mirror and....well you'll see

hope you like it

The Other Side

[Em]Tonight I was confronted by a [Am]message  from the other[Em] side
[Em]It said it knew my troubles, and [Am] every reason why  I’ve ever  [Em]cried
[Am]Said it knew the pain that I was hiding, be[Em]neath  my crooked   smile
[B7And ]all  the lost and  lonely feelings, that [Am]haunt me all the [Em]while

[Em]The other side knows the truth,  and [Am] deep secrets never [Em[ told
[Em]It remembers loveless  times with [Am] emotions turned stone [Em] cold
[Am]It knows fears  in my head,  that [Em]sometimes  scream with  rage
[B7]As I cry out for love to  escape from  this [Am] steel like empty [Em] cage

Chorus
[Am]Oh this message from my reflection, as I [Em] look into the mirror
[Am]mired in lyric, yet  between the lines [Em]it becomes much  clearer
[Am]hidden within my inner self, its [Em]always  been my  sweetest lie
[B7]always been my heart’s true passion baby , to [Am]love you or to[Em] die

[Em]The other side sees my demons and [Am] all of the dreams I [Em] chase
[Em]It knows my fears , it knows my hopes  and [Am] the reality I must [Em]face
[Am]And hears the voice inside of me, when I[Em] softly say your name
[B7]When I whisper that I love you,  and wonder if [Am] you still feel the [Em] same
