  On the other hand, 
   D                                      G 
  On one hand I count the reason I could stay with you 
   D                                  A 
  And hold you close to me all night long 
   D                             G 
  So many lover's games I could play with you 
              E                               A 
  And on that hand there's no reason why it's wrong 

             G                           D 
  But on the other hand there's a golden band 
   A                                    D 
  To remind me of someone who would not understand 
   G                                   D 
  On one hand I could stay and be your loving man 
   A                                  D 
  But the reason I must go is on the other hand 
 
  verse 
   D                                G 
  In your arms I feel the passion I thought had died 
   D                            A 
  When I look into your eye's I found myself 
   D                            G 
  When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive 
              E                       A              
  Iv'e got to hand it to you girl your something else 
 
  Chorus again
