[Intro]
A D A D
[Verse 1]
A
Spider-Gris caught Evangeline grinning
D A
After one of his tales left her pretty head a spinning
A
As if to awake from some weaving dream
[Verse 2]
D A D A
Lifting her spirit till it's busting at the seam
A
"Your free falling reveries, sir, rescue me
D A
From the deep end of doubt that puts vision to sleep
F#m A
But do your wild thoughts simply break formation
D A
On a wing and a prayer or sure navigation?"
[Verse 3]
F#m
"Ma'am, I have no delusions of prescient truth
D
And I call to account without prophecy or proof
A F#m E
But I propose a course from a simple observation:
D Bm D
Some roads are paved with conversation
[Chorus]
A
'Cause it takes two sides of a story
C#m D
two sides of a story
C#m D
two sides of a story
A F#m
To make a tale of love and glory."

Evangeline turned to Spider-Gris
A D
And said, "The drag of apprehension is releasing me
A F#m E
You have shared a wealth of information
D Bm D
With pearls of wisdom and infectious revelation
[Chorus]
A
That two sides of a story
F#m D
two sides of a story
F#m D
two sides of a story
A F#m
Can make a tale of love and glory."

E
Try to follow the bliss every step of the mile
E
Don't break the trance
E
After all, what better way to wear the while
E
Won't you take this dance?
[Verse 6]
A
He gazed into the palm of her outstretched hand
D
As if to read the future of a noble plan
A
Then looked into her eyes making welcome to the heart
D
And heard a door open that had kept them each apart
[Chorus]
A
It takes two sides of a story
C#m D
two sides of a story
C#m D
two sides of a story
A F#m
To make a tale of love and glory
[Chorus]

It takes two sides of a story
