Firehouse – two sides
By Sanjeev George and Thomas George
Sanjeevgeorge123@yahoo.co.in
At least 2 guitars are used. This can be played with one
Verse 1
One man is black, one man is white
One works by the light of the day and the other one works at night
They both live so differently but they are so much alike
They both want the very same thing just to have a better way of life
Pre chorus
You know you can't take sides 'cause no one's wrong or right
So don't make up you mind take another look before you decide
Chorus:
'Cause there are two sides to every story
Two different ways of looking at exactly the same thing
Two sides to every story
So don't make up your mind 'til ya hear the story from me
Verse 2
One nation's weak, one nation's strong
Two people side by side but they just can't get along
All war's too big ya know, no war's too small
One wants just a little piece and the other one wants it all
Pre chorus
You know you can't take sides 'cause no one's wrong or right
So don't make up you mind take another look before you decide
Chorus
'Cause there are two sides to every story
Two different ways of looking at exactly the same thing
Two sides to every story
Don't make up you mind there are two sides you'll see
Solo not tabbed
Verse 3
Oh so let me tell it to you straight you gotta open up your eyes
You'll see perspective's everything and you just might change your mind
back to Chorus till end
