Capo II *

[Intro]

C Am C Em F G

[Verse]

Johnny's always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Knows he tires easily

[Verse]

Johnny thinks the world would be right

If he could buy the truth from you

Mary says he changes his mind

More than a woman

But she made her bed

Even when the chance was slim

[Break]

C Am C Em F G

[Verse]

Johnny says he's willing to learn

Then he decides he's a fool

Johnny says he'll live anywhere

When he earns time to move

Mary combs her hair

Says she should be used to it

[Verse]

Mary always hedges her bets

She never knows what to think

She says that he still acts like he's

Being discovered

Scared that he'll be caught

Without a second thought

[Break]

C Am C Em F G

Running around

[Verse]

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath

Trying to talk sense to her

Mary says he's lacking a real

Sense of proportion

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he ain't lonely - y - y

Mary counts the walls

Says she should be used to it
