Crocodile Tears Lyrics

Crocodile Tears - The Stanfields
What an awesome song! It's by the Stanfields - one of the best new bands to come out of
Scotia in a while. You can get this song - and other songs - on their website for
free: http://thestanfields.ca/
The Celtic sound on the D chord comes from playing the G string open and hammering your
finger down to start the chord.
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
So go, pack your bags, I'm not listening to you cry
i
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
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
