Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

THIS SIDE OF THE MORNING - Del Amitri
Intro: E - A - E - A - E - A - B 3x
E F#m A B
No - body's perfect
E F#m
and that's something that I'm sure
A B
she'll know
E F#m
Cause trying to tell her lies
A B
from the truth at times
G#7 A A
is like trying to divide ice from snow
E F#m A B
And when I knew it was over
E F#m
I jumped into a taxi and said just
A B
guess were to go
E F#m
And the driver turned a - bout and said,
A B
Fi - nding what you want
G#7 A A
is like trying to divide ice from snow
Chorus:
B B
So here I sit
A A
rolling back to bed
B
Knowing love is a hazard
G#m C#m A
That I never guessed
E A
But from this side of morning
B B/A -
I couldn't care less
B/Ab B/F# E
I couldn't care less.
(E) - A - E - A - E - A - B 2x
E F#m A B
No - body's helpless
E F#m
Although I' - ve never felt this
A B
helpless be - fore
E F#m
And trying to per - suade myself
A B
not to think a - bout her
G#7 A A
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
E F#m A B
so I put down the bottle
E F#m
While in my head time is col - lapsing and the
A B
currents run cold
E F#m
So I can curse her memory
A B
But don't try telling me
G#7
that she was not an emerald
A
in a mountain of coal
G#7
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
A
At the end of the rainbow.
Chorus:
B B
So here I sit
A A
rolling back to bed
B
Knowing love is a hazard
C#m A F#m
That I never guessed
E A
But from this side of morning
B B/A - B/Ab - B/F#
I couldn't care less
Break:
B
And she's the kind of girl
A E
who won't for - give but will for - get
A
So take my from this party, driver
B
put me back to bed
B
I wanted to be loved
A E
but just got laughed at in - stead
A F#m F#m
So if this taxi is for hire
A
I'll get in the back
F#m
Just to feel the friction of the tarmac
B7
and the tyres.
E - A - E - A - E - A - B 2x
E F#m A B
So no - body's perfect
E F#m
and that's something that I'm sure
A B
she'll know
E F#m
And trying to per - suade myself
A B
not to think a - bout her
G#7 A
Is like trying to tell the crockels not to crow
G#7
Or like trying to tell the striker
A
Not to think about the goal
Outro:
B B
So here I sit
A A
rolling back to bed
B
Knowing love is a hazard
