Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

On the 4th time around, kick the G string up to the 4th fret.

Repeat this progression throughout the song.

Violets are blue, roses are red

 I want you to leave and I mean what I said

 The jury's verdict is in and you've crossed the line.

Spare me the drama and your crocodile tears

Cocaine, vodka and a half dozen beers

There's no excuse for the way you acted last night

Chorus

 So go, pack your bags, I'm not listening to you cry

 There is no next time or another try

 So go, pack your bags and find somewhere else to cry

 This is the last time that I'll say goodbye

 Well you bitch and complain as a means to an end

 You don't like my momma and you hate all my friends

 Well honey, I've got news for you, the feeling is shared

They say true love is golden but bruises are black

 You think that you are but you ain't coming back

 You're a walking, a cold lonely road, you ain't prepared

Chorus

Solo

Here is a quarter, call someone who cares

 Or believes that I accidently fell down the stairs

Or the phone book that knocked me out cold just fell of the shelf

Well I have a good job and I don't look too bad

 And there are plenty of women who would be more than glad

 To keep me from sitting around feeling bad for myself

Chorus x 2

Solo/Outro
