The Other Side Of Town chords by John Prine

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

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


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
