Biography:
The Living End formed in 1994 after lead singer/guitarist Chris Cheney and bassist Scott Owen were introduced to each other by their older sisters at Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia. Cheney, obsessed with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats, convinced Owen to learn the double bass instead of the piano and they started playing gigs under the name Runaway Boys after the title of a Stray Cats song. The group went through a succession of drummers before settling on Joe Piripitzi.

G A F#m G
[Verse 1]
G A F#m G
I saw an old friend the other day
G A F#m G
Been a while since I'd seen his face
G A F#m G
He never settled for second best
G A F#m G
He stood at the top looking down on the rest
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G A F#m G
Oh, it's not real
G A F#m G
Oh, it's not real
[Verse 2]
G A F#m G
He always seemed to have faith
G A F#m G
But now the light had begun to fade
G A F#m G
And he was stuck in a fight within
G A F#m G
Couldn't come back down from where he'd been
[Chorus]
G A F#m G
On the otherside, on the otherside
G A F#m G
Shit's always better on the otherside
G A F#m G
On the otherside, on the otherside
G A F#m G
There's nothing over there on the otherside
G A F#m G
G A F#m G
[Verse 3]
G A F#m G
I saw my old friend the other day
G A F#m G
Hardly recognized his face
G A F#m G
I did my best trying to pretend
G A F#m G
But I could see that he'd reached the end
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G A F#m G
He said, "Do me a favor and don't look back
G A F#m G
Or sit around thinkin' bout what you don't have"
[Chorus]
G A F#m G
On the otherside, on the otherside
G A F#m G
Shit's always better on the otherside
G A F#m G
On the otherside, on the otherside
G A F#m G
There's nothing over there on the otherside
