Repeat this progression throughout the song.

D MajorD
Violets are blue, roses are red
 G+G
I want you to leave and I mean what I said
  D MajorD
The jury's verdict is in and you've crossed the line.

D MajorD
Spare me the drama and your crocodile tears
G+G
Cocaine, vodka and a half dozen beers
D MajorD
There's no excuse for the way you acted last night


Chorus
  D MajorD
So go, pack your bags, I'm not listening to you cry
      D MajorD
There is no next time or another try
  D MajorD
So go, pack your bags and find somewhere else to cry
      D MajorD
This is the last time that I'll say goodbye

     D MajorD
Well you bitch and complain as a means to an end
  G+G
You don't like my momma and you hate all my friends
   D MajorD
Well honey, I've got news for you, the feeling is shared


D MajorD
They say true love is golden but bruises are black
  G+G
You think that you are but you ain't coming back
     D MajorD
You're a walking, a cold lonely road, you ain't prepared


Chorus

Solo


D MajorD
Here is a quarter, call someone who cares
  G+G
Or believes that I accidently fell down the stairs
D MajorD
Or the phone book that knocked me out cold just fell of the shelf


D MajorD
Well I have a good job and I don't look too bad
       G+G
And there are plenty of women who would be more than glad
  D MajorD
To keep me from sitting around feeling bad for myself


Chorus x 2
