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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
