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

[D] Why must you always seem to critic[A]ize me
Seems like everything I do just turns out [D] wrong
Why don't you come on out and des[G]pise me
So I could [A] pack my bag and baby I'd be [D] gone
{c: }
[D] Remember when you used to call me [A] honey
Well, I'd turn around and call you honey [D] too
You might think it's a joke, but it ain't [G] funny
To [A] hurt someone who's so in love with [D] you
{c: }
A [D] clown puts his makeup on, upside [A] down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D] frown
You might think I'm here when you [G] put me down
But [A] actually, I'm on, the other [D] side of town
{c: }
My [D] body's in this room with you just [A] catching hell
While my soul is drinking beer down the [D] road a spell
You might think I'm listening to your [G] grocery list
But I'm [A] leaning on the jukebox and I'm [D] about half ... way there
{c: }
A [D] clown puts his makeup on, upside [A] down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D] frown
You might think I'm here when you [G] put me down
But [A] actually, I'm on, the other [D] side of town
{c: }
I'm [D] sittin' on a chair just be‐ [A] hind my ear
Playing dominoes and drinking some [D] ice cold beer
When you get done talking I'll come [G] back downstairs
And [A] assume the body of the person you pre[D]sume who cares
{c: }
A [D] clown puts his makeup on, upside [A] down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D] frown
You might think I'm here when you [G] put me down
But [A] actually, I'm on, the other [D] side of town
{c: }
I'm [A] across the river on, the other [D] side of town
In my [A] mind I'm on, the other [D] side of town [D][Db][D]
{c: }
