D                        F#
It seems as though I've lived my life
        Bm             D/A
On the bad side of the moon
     G                 F
To stir your dregs in sickness still
    Em       C       D
Without the rustic spoon
D              F#
Common people live with me
           Bm             D/A
Where the light has never shone
         G                    F
And the hermits flock like a hummingbirds
     Em        C       D
To speak in a foreign tongue

Chorus:
D/C               D/B
I'm a light world away
          F                   G
From the people who make me stay
D               F       G       D
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
D/C                D/B
I'm a light world away
          F                   G
From the people who make me stay
D               F       G       D
Sitting on the bad side of the moon

Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life

There isn't no need for watchdogs here
To justify our ways
We live our life in manacles
The main cause of our stay
Exiled here from other worlds
My sentence comes too soon
Why should I be made to pay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon

Chorus:
I'm a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
I'm a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon

Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
