Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Why do you always seem to criticize me

 Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong

 Why don't you come on out and despise me

 So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone

Remember when you used to call me honey

 I'd turn around and call you honey too

 You might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny

 To hurt someone who's so in love with you

Chorus

A clown puts his makeup on upside down

 So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown

 You might think I'm here when you put me down

 But actually I'm on the other side of town.

My body's in this room with you just catching hell

 While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell

 You might think I'm listening to your grocery list

 But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Intro)

I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear

 Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer

 When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs

 And assume the body of the person you presume who cares

(Repeat Chorus)

 I'm across the river on the other side of town

 In my mind I'm on the other side of town
