Sting - Always On Your Side

Bb  F  Bb  F

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


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


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


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


     Dm                                A7               
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
F                            G     
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear

    Bb                          Eb        
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
  Gm                     F/A     Bb     
But this isn't how it's really meant to be
F/A     Gm                    F/A      Csus  C
No it isn't how it's really meant to be


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