D
Violets are blue, roses are red
G
I want you to leave and I mean what I said
D A7 D
The jury's verdict is in and you've crossed the line.
D
Spare me the drama and your crocodile tears
G
Cocaine, vodka and a half dozen beers
D A7 D
There's no excuse for the way you acted last night
Chorus
G D
So go, pack your bags, I'm not listening to you cry
A7 Bm9 D
There is no next time or another try
G D
So go, pack your bags and find somewhere else to cry
A7 D
This is the last time that I'll say goodbye
D
Well you bitch and complain as a means to an end
G
You don't like my momma and you hate all my friends
D A7 D
Well honey, I've got news for you, the feeling is shared
D
They say true love is golden but bruises are black
G
You think that you are but you ain't coming back
D A7 D
You're a walking, a cold lonely road, you ain't prepared
Chorus
Solo
D
Here is a quarter, call someone who cares
G
Or believes that I accidently fell down the stairs
D A7 D
Or the phone book that knocked me out cold just fell of the shelf
D
Well I have a good job and I don't look too bad
G
And there are plenty of women who would be more than glad
D A7 D
To keep me from sitting around feeling bad for myself
Chorus x 2
Solo/Outro
