D                               A 
Why do you always seem to criti cize me 
                                          D 
Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong 
                                  G 
Why don't you come on out and des pise me 
           A                           D 
So I could pack my bag and baby I?d be gone 

D                                 A 
Remember when you used to call me honey 
                                   D 
I?d turn around and call you honey too 
                                          G 
You might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny 
   A                                  D 
To hurt someone who?s so in love with you 

D A A clown puts his makeup on upside down D So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown G You might think I'm here when you put me down A D But actually I'm on the other side of town.
D A My body?s in this room with you just catchin? hell D While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell G You might think I'm listening to your grocery list A D But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm a bout halfway there D A I'm sittin? on a chair just be hind my ear D Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer G When you get done talking I?ll come back downstairs A D And as sume the body of the person you pre sume who cares
D A D I'm A cross the river on the other side of town A D In my mind I'm on the other side of town
