Song:  The Other Side ft. B.O.B. and Cee-Lo Green
Artist:  Bruno Mars
Tabbed by:  Jerry Koko
My first tab/chord submission
The intro plucks the the E and B strings for the Fm, and the G and B strings
for the rest of the chords and once for the Fm.  You can listen to the song
for timing and whatnot.  Note:  I'm not sure about the intro just yet and
why I didn't tab it out.
Enjoy and add corrections in comments

EmTruth of the matter is I'm coDmplicated
  AYou're as straight as theEmy come
You go 'bout your Dday baby
                  A       Em(Bass- E   D  C)
  While I hide from the sun
  CIt's better if you don't underB7stand
Cause you Emwont know Dwhat it's Clike
B7Til you tAry
[Chorus]
You know EmI, DI've been Awaiting on the other Emside
And youD, all you Agotta do is cross the Emline
I could wait a Dwhole life time
  ABut you just gotta deciEmde
You know I, DI've been Awaiting on the other, waiting on the other Emside
[Verse]
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Til you try
[Chorus]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time

[Verse]
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really cant explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you's would run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
[Chorus]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I
I've been waiting on the other, waiting on the other side
It's better if you don't understand
