Song: The Other Side Of Town Tab

This was written while John was recuperating from hip 
surgery in January 2001 with a little help from Percodan 

(D)Why do you always seem to criti(A)cize me
Seems like everything I do just turns out(D)wrong
Why don�t you come on out and des(G)pise me
So I could (A)pack my bag and baby I�d be (D)gone

(D)Remember when you used to call me (A)honey
I�d turn around and call you honey (D)too
You might think it�s a joke, but it ain�t (G)funny
To(A)hurt someone who�s so in love with (D)you

(Chorus)
(D)A clown puts his makeup on (A)upside down
So he wears a smile even when he (D)wears a frown
You might think I�m here when you (G)put me down
But (A)actually I�m on the other (D)side of town.

(D)My body�s in this room with you just(A)catchin� hell
While my soul is drinking beer down the (D)road a spell
You might think I�m listening to your (G)grocery list
But I�m (A)leaning on the jukebox and I�m a(D)bout halfway there

(D)I�m sittin� on a chair just be(A)hind my ear
Playing dominoes and drinking some (D)ice cold beer
When you get done talking I�ll come (G)back downstairs
And as(A)sume the body of the person you pre(D)sume who cares
(Repeat Chorus)

(D)I�m A(A)cross the river on the other (D)side of town
(A)In my mind I�m on the other (D)side of town
