[Intro] DAD DGAD
[Verse 1] DA Why do you always seem to criticize me D Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong G Why don't you come on out and despise me AD So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone
[Verse 2] DA 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 AD To hurt someone who's so in love with you
[Chorus] DA 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 AD But actually I'm on the other side of town.
[Verse 3] DA My body's in this room with you just catching hell D While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell G You might think I'm listening to your grocery list AD But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there
[Chorus] DA 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 AD But actually I'm on the other side of town.
[Instrumental] DAD DGAD
[Verse 4] DA I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear D Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer G When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs AD And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
[Chorus] DA 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 AD But actually I'm on the other side of town.
AD I'm across the river on the other side of town AD In my mind I'm on the other side of town
