The Other Side Of Town chords by John Prine

Chords with lyrics

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

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

D MajorD             A augmentedA
A majorA clown puts his makeup on upside down
                 D MajorD
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
                 G+G
You might think I'm here when you put me down
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
But actually I'm on the other side of town.

D MajorD                  A augmentedA
My body?s in this room with you just catchin? hell
                    D MajorD
While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell
                   G+G
You might think I'm listening to your grocery list
    A augmentedA                D MajorD
But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm a bout halfway there

D MajorD               A augmentedA
I'm sittin? on a chair just be hind my ear
                  D MajorD
Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer
                  G+G
When you get done talking I?ll come back downstairs
    A augmentedA                  D MajorD
And as sume the body of the person you pre sume who cares


D MajorD   A augmentedA              D MajorD
I'm A augmentedA cross the river on the other side of town
A augmentedA              D MajorD
In my mind I'm on the other side of town
