This is a song about a man who's developed a special ability over a number of [D] years.
He's [A] able [D] to travel in his mind, particularly when his wife just goes on just [C#m] a little bit too long about something that he hasn't [D] done.
I read about this guy.
Why
[A]
[D] [G]
[A] [D] [Em]
[D] must you always seem to [A] criticize me?
It seems like everything I do just turns [D] out wrong.
Why don't you come on out and [G] despise me?
So [A] I can pack my bag and baby I'd [D] be gone.
Remember when you used to call [A] me honey?
Well I'd turn around and call you honey [D] too.
You might think it's a joke but it [G] ain't funny
to [A] hurt someone who's so in [D] love with you.
A clown puts his makeup [A] on upside down
so he wears a smile even when he [D] wears a frown.
You might think I'm here [G] when you put me down
[A] but actually I'm on the [D] other side of town.
My body's in this room with you just [A] catching hell
but my soul is drinking beer [D] down the road to spell.
You might think I'm listening to [G] your grocery list
but [A] I'm leaning on a jukebox [D] and I'm about half way there.
A clown puts his makeup on [A] upside down
so he wears a smile even when [D] he 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.
I'm
[A]
[D]
[G] [A]
[D] sitting on a chair [A] just behind my ear
playing down my nose and drinking [D] some ice cold beer.
When you get done talking [G] I'll come back downstairs
[A] and assume the body of the person you [D] presume who cares.
A clown puts his makeup on upside [A] down
so he wears a smile even when [D] he wears a frown.
You might think I'm here [N] when you put me down
