The Side I'll Never Show (from album Ghost Stories)

This is one of Steve's classics from the late Dream Syndicate days, and
still a live favourite at gigs. The version that has been loitering around
for the past few years is completely off, so here is the correct one. For
timings and phrasing ideas, check out one of the many live versions on
YouTube.

Verse:
[Em] [A5]         [Em]         [A5]
Doctor, can't you see that I'm trying?
[G]      [C]         [G]         [D]
The explanation just hasn't been found.
[Em] [A5]      [Em]           [A5]
Doctor, no one knows when I'm crying.
[G]        [C]           [G]            [D]
I slam the door when the feeling comes 'round and

Chorus:
[G]   [C]         [G]    [D]
Every cloud has a silver lining.
[G]   [C]          [Em]     [D]
Every doubt has an answer I know.
[G]       [C]           [G]       [D]
But in my heart there's no light shining
     [Em]          [A] 
Just emptiness and faded glow
[Em]                [D]             [Em]
Raining down on the side I'll never show

Doctor, it's the hardest season
I sit waiting for the dam to let go.
Doctor, without the slightest reason
I've become a man that I don't want to know and

Every cloud has a silver lining
Every doubt has an answer I know
But in my heart there's no light shining
Just emptiness and faded glow
Raining down on the side I'll never show

Yeah every cloud has a silver lining
Every doubt has an answer I know
But in my heart there's no light shining
Just emptyness and faded glow
Raining down on the side I'll never show

Doctor, I believe that I heard her
Calling out from beyond the flood
Doctor, in my heart there was murder
There wasn't no body and there wasn't no blood and

Every cloud has a silver lining
Every doubt has an answer I know
But in my heart there's no light shining
That's a side I'll never show
That's a side that I never, never, never, never show
