|C F G G D G |
Oh it hurts to be that way, Down, down, down!
|C Am D G |
Oh it hurts to know the bad kind of fella
|C D F C |
here's to newspaper Joe...dropped his teeth on the floor
|C D |
Caught his hand in the door,
|F C|

|D F G C |
If you want to see me, sorry but I'm not around
|D F C Am
If you want to be me... turn around
G Gsus4 |
I'm by the window where the light is
She's my best friend,better than a dog or car
She's my best friend understands me when I'm fallin'
down, down, down...Oh it hurts to be that way
Down, down, down...
Oh it hurts to know the bad kinda fella
here's to Mulberry Jane...she made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet,
Now the jelly rolls in the street
If you want to see me
Sorry but I'm not around
If you want to be me turn around
I'm by the window where the light is
She's my best friend
Certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm fallin' (fallin')
|G C G F
Fallin down, fallin' down
F G C G F |
Fallin down, fallin down...
Repeat to fade with ad lib shouts.
