[Verse 1]
It was [G]January, 1963
When [A]Johnny [D]came home
with a gift for me
He said I [G]bought it for you
because I love you
And I [A]bought it [D]for you
cause it's your birthday too
He was [G]so very nice, he was so very kind
To [D]think of me at this point in [G]time
I used to think of him,
he used to [D]think of me
He [Bm]told me to close my eyes
My [A]gift would be a great surprise
But [G]I saw tears were in his eyes
He [F#m]never meant to hurt me, oh God
[Bm]Johnny, don't point that [Em]gun at me
There's so [F#m]many ways
our lives have changed
But [Bm]please, I beg, don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, I don't mind
that [Em]gun and me
Can I [F#m]save my life at any price?
For [Bm]God's sake, won't you [G]listen to [D]me?
I know [G]he was ashamed
that he had took a life
[A]Johnny [D]came home with an[A]other [D]wife
And he [G]often remembered
how it used to be
Before that [D]special occasion
1963
There's [G]too many ways
that you could kill someone
Like in a [D]love affair
When the love has [G]gone
He used to think of her,
she used to [D]think of him
He [Bm]told me to close my eyes
My [A]guilt would be a great surprise
[G]I saw sins were in his eyes
He [F#m]never meant to hurt me, oh God
[Bm]Johnny, don't point
that [Em]gun at me
There's so [F#m]many ways
our lives have changed
But [Bm]please, I beg,
don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, you keep on [Em]using me
Can I [F#m]change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny,
[Bm]won't you list[G]en to me?
[Bm]You don't need to close my eyes
My gift [A]would be a great surprise
I [G]saw hatred in his eyes
But he [F#m]nev er meant to hurt me
Oh God, [Bm]Johnny
I don't want [Em]that on me
There's so [F#m]many ways our lives
But [Bm]please, I beg,
don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, you keep on [Em]using me
Can I [F#m]change my life for any price?
Oh, [Bm]Johnny, won't you leave
