D (xx0232@1)                            AWhy (x02220@1)do you always seem to criticize me
                                          DSeems (xx0232@1)like everything I do just turns out wrong
                                 GWhy (320003@1)don't you come on out and despise me
           A (x02220@1)                         DSo (xx0232@1)I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone


D (xx0232@1)                               ARemember (x02220@1)when you used to call me honey
                                   DI'd (xx0232@1)turn around and call you honey too
                                          GYou (320003@1)might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny
        A (x02220@1)                           DTo (xx0232@1)hurt someone who's so in love with you



Chorus:
D (xx0232@1)                          AA (x02220@1)clown puts his makeup on upside down
                                         DSo (xx0232@1)he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
                                  GYou (320003@1)might think I'm here when you put me down
    A (x02220@1)                       DBut (xx0232@1)actually I'm on the other side of town.


D (xx0232@1)                                  AMy (x02220@1)body's in this room with you just catching hell
                                        D (xx0232@1)              
While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell
                                      GYou (320003@1)might think I'm listening to your grocery list
        A (x02220@1)                                  DBut (xx0232@1)I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there



(Repeat Chorus)



(Repeat Intro)



D (xx0232@1)                           AI'm (x02220@1)sittin' on a chair just behind my ear
                                   DPlaying (xx0232@1)dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer
                                    GWhen (320003@1)you get done talking I'll come back downstairs
      A (x02220@1)                                     DAnd (xx0232@1)assume the body of the person you presume who cares




(Repeat Chorus)


     A (x02220@1)                          DI'm (xx0232@1)across the river on the other side of town
      A (x02220@1)                   DIn (xx0232@1)my mind I'm on the other side of town
