[Eb] [Fm] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Fm] I'm crying [Ab]
[Eb] jailhouse tears, I've been [Fm] trying [Ab]
all [Eb] these [Bb] years, [Eb]
trying to write [Fm] blank [Ab] papers,
but now I've [Eb] shifted gears, and we're [Fm] both crying [Ab]
[Eb] jailhouse [Bbm] tears.
[Eb]
They say I broke [Ab] the law, [Eb] [Bb]
now [Eb] everything's broken down,
babe I know what [Fm] I saw, [Bb]
I know you went [Eb] downtown,
[Ebm]
they locked [Ab] me up, [Bb]
and you locked [Ebm] me out,
[Eb]
you tried to steal [Fm] my truck but, [Bb]
that's not what this [Eb] is about,
I just went [Ab] to the corner, [Bb]
to get a [Eb] cold six [Bb] pack,
[Eb] you're a [Fm] drunk, you're a stoner, [Bb]
you never came back,
[Eb] I used to [Ab] be a user, [Bb]
now [Eb] I'm out of stuff,
you're a [Fm] three time loser, [Bb]
you're [Eb] all fucked [Bb] up,
[Fm] and I'm [Ab] crying [Eb] jailhouse tears, and [Fm] I've been [Ab] trying [Eb] all these years,
[Eb] trying to [Fm] write blank papers, [Ab]
but now I've [Eb] shifted gears,
and we're [Fm] both [Ab] crying [Eb] jailhouse [Bb] tears.

look at me [Fm] I'm clean now, [Bb]
you're so full [Eb] of shit,
I swear I will [Ab] tell all, [Bb]
look at my [Eb] dresser drawer,
now I'm [Fm] behind the eight ball, [Bb]
and you're [Eb] behind [Bb] bars,
[Eb]
[Fm] and I'm crying [Ab]
[Eb] jailhouse tears, and I've [Fm] been [Ab] trying [Cm] [Eb] all these years,
trying to write [Fm] blanks out, [Ab]
