             D      E         A
She:    I'm crying, jailhouse tears

                        D       E        A
        and I've been trying all these years

                                    D   E
        Been trying to ride things out

                                A
        but now I'm shifting gears

                        D     E           A
        and we're both crying jailhouse tears

                                D     E
He:     They say I broke the law

                           A
        now everything is broken down

                           D     E
She:    babe I know what I saw

                           A
        I know you went downtown.

                       D     E
He:     They locked me up

                          A
        and you locked me out

                              D         E
She:    You tried to steal my truck, but

                                  A     
        That's not what this is about.

                       D     E
He:     I went to the corner

                            A
        to get a cold six pack

                                D      E
She:    You're a drunk you're a stoner

                          A
        you never came back.

                        D    E
He:     I used to be a user

                              A         
        but now I'm all out of stuff

                         D    E
She:    You're a 3 time loser

                          A             
        you're all fucked up
Chorus: He and She together
            D        E         A
        I'm crying, jailhouse tears

                        D       E        A
        and I've been trying all these years

                                    D   E
        Been trying to ride things out

                                A
        but now I'm shifting gears

                        D     E           A
        and we're both crying jailhouse tears
Guitar Solo
                               D     E
He:     I'll prove it to you somehow

                             A
        I'm done with every bit

                           D       E
        look at me, I'm clean now

                            A
She:    you're so full of shit

                            D    E
He:     I swear I will tell all

                            A
        look in my dresser drawers

                           D      E
She:    Now I'm behind the 8-ball

                        A
        you're behind bars.
Chorus (he and she together) X 2
