D                              A7
Why do you always seem to criticize me

                                          D
Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong

                                 G
Why don't you come on out and despise me

           A7                          D
So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone
[Verse 2]
D                                 A7
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

   A7                                 D
To hurt someone who's so in love with you
[Chorus]
D                            A7
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

    A7                        D
But actually I'm on the other side of town.
[Verse 3]
D                                    A7
My body's in this room with you just catching hell

                                        D
While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell

                                      G
You might think I'm listening to your grocery list

        A7                                   D
But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there
[Chorus]
D                           A7
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

    A7                        D
But actually I'm on the other side of town.
[Instrumental] D A7 D D G A7 D [Verse 4]
D                             A7
I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear

                                   D
Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer

                                    G
When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs

      A7                                      D
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
[Chorus]
D                            A7
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

    A7                        D
But actually I'm on the other side of town.
[Outro]
     A7                           D
I'm across the river on the other side of town

      A7                               D          G  A7 D A7 D
In my mind I'm going to the dog-racing side of town
