F G C She: I'm crying, jailhouse tears F G C and I've been trying all these years F G Been trying to ride things out C but now I'm shifting gears F G C and we're both crying jailhouse tears F G He: They say I broke the law C now everything is broken down F G She: babe I know what I saw C I know you went downtown. F G He: I went to the corner C to get a cold six pack F G She: You're a drunk you're a stoner C you never came back. F G He: They locked me up C and you locked me out F G She: You tried to steal my truck, but C That's not what this is about F G He: I used to be a user C but now I'm all out of stuff F G She: You're a 3 time loser C you're all fucked up
