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