CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C
You know love's got a right to touch you
G
You may laugh, but that's a crying shame
C
Because your laughter does not matter
A D
When you know you're gonna end up crying just the same
[Verse 2]
C
You told me everybody's out to get you
G
But the monkey on your back is your own
C
You tell me everybody upsets you
A D
And that's why you end up crying on my telephone
[Chorus]
C
It's like pissin' in the wind
G
It all comes back on you
C
It's like pissin' out the window
A D G
You're alright now, Jack, it all comes back on you
[Verse 3]
C
Well, that kind of advice ain't free babe
G
You gotta pay for it just like the rest
C
So just ease yourself into my shoes
A D
And if you still don't dig it, just get up and do your best. Get up!
[Instrumental]
