Otherside Uke tab by Macklemore

Chorus: (Pluck For the Beginning Chorus, It sounds a bit more like the original song)
Em              G       
  Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
D                Em
  There's no sea left for me,
Em            G  
  And how the sky gets heavy
D  
  When you are underneath it
  Em   G             D            Em
  Oh I want to sail away from here
      C
  And God
          G    
  He came down down down down down down down down (Strum for this part and strum for the next line 
like you do this as if it is repeating said like it does down)
      C
  And said
(Do nothing as two syllables and strum on each beat with it (no-thing))  
 B
  Nothing
 
Verse: 
Em                                   
  He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G  
  Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
D
  That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?
Em
  And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Em
  Yep yep he had 5 up on
G
  When he passed him that Styrofoam
D
  The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
  
  Finally got to see what all the hype was on
              Em
  And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G
  Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D                                                     Em
  Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
                                      
  Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C
  Hot box let the bass bump
  
  Take it to face, gulp
G
  Months later the use went up
  
  And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C
  But Goddamn he loved that feeling
  
  Purple rain coated in the throat
          B
  Just so healin'
  
  Medicine alleviate the sickness
  
  Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
  Em
  Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
G 
  Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
  D                                            Em
  Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
  
  Couldn't get off it
Em
  Didn't even think he had a problem
G
  Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
D
  Room spinnin'
  
  Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
Em
  His eyelids closed shut
G
  Sat back in the chair
  
  Clutching that cup
D                                              Em
  Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
  
  Shook him, but he never got up
C
  Never got up, never got up
G 
  We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
C                               B
 It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
 
 Nah, it won't be us
 
Chorus:
Em              G       
  Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
D                Em
  There's no sea left for me,
Em            G  
  And how the sky gets heavy
D  
  When you are underneath it
  Em   G             D            Em
  Oh I want to sail away from here
      C
  And God
          G    
  He came down down down down down down down down
      C
  And said
  B
  Nothing
 
Verse:
Em
  And he just wanted to act like them
G
  He just wanted to rap like him
D                                  Em
  Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
Em
  Blunt passed
                G
  Ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
D
  The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some xxxx they haven't lived
Em
  Surprise, you know the drill
G
  Trapped in a box declined record sales
D
  Follow the formula
                          Em 
  Violence, drugs and xxx sells
  
  So we try to sound like someone else
C
  This is not Californication
 
  There's no way to glorify this pavement
G
  Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
D
  Despite how Lil Wayne lives
  
  It's not conducive to being creative
B
  And I know cause he's my favorite
  
  And I know cause I was off that same mix
Em                            G
  Rationalize the xxxx that I try after I listen to dedication
D
  But he's an alien
              Em
  I sip that xxxx pass out or play PlayStation
Em 
  Months later I'm in the same place
G
  No music made, feeling like a failure
D
  And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
Em
  I've seen my peoples dreams die
G
  I see what they can be denied
D
  And "weeds not a drug" that's denial
 
  Groundhog day life repeat each time
Em
  I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives
G
  I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
D                                         Em
  I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
 
  Cheatin' and lyin'
             Em
  Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
               G
  Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
D
  Broken, hopeless, headed no where
  Em
  Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
C
  That rush, that drug, that dope
  
  Those pills, that crumb, that roach
G
  Thinkin' I would never do that
  
  Not that drug
  
  Growin' up nobody ever does
C
  Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror
  
  Like I can't believe what I've become
G
  Swore I was gonna be someone
  
  And growin' up everyone always does
C
  We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
B
  Just keep me up, keep me up
  
  Hollywood here we come
