[G][G]

[Verse 1]
Ain't [G]it just like the night to [C]play tricks
when you're [D]tryin' to be so [G]quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're [C]all doin'
our [D]best to de[G]ny it
And Lou[D]ise holds a handful of rain,
temptin' you to defy [G]it
Lights [C]flicker from the opposite [G]loft
In [C]this room the heat pipes just [G]cough
The [C]country music station plays soft
[G]But there's nothing, really nothing
to turn [D]off
Just Lou[G]ise and her [C]lover [D]so
en[G]twined
And these vi[C]sions of Johan[G]na
that [D]conquer my [G]mind

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D]
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
In the empty [G]lot
where the ladies [C]play blind[D]man's bluff
with the [G]key chain
And the all-night girls they [C]whisper
of esca[D]pades out on the [G]"D" train
We can [D]hear the night watchman
click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them
that's in[G]sane
[C]Louise, she's all right, she's just [G]near
She's [C]delicate and seems like the [G]mirror
But she just [C]makes it all too concise
and too [G]clear
That Johanna’s not [D]here
The [G]ghost of ’lectricity [C]howls in the [D]bones
of her [G]face
Where these vi[C]sions of Johan[G]na
have now [D]taken my [G]place

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][D]
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
Now, [G]little boy lost,
he [C]takes himself so [D]serious[G]ly
He brags of his misery,
he [C]likes to live [D]dangerous[G]ly
And when [D]bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
[G]
He’s [C]sure got a lotta [G]gall
to [C]be so useless and [G]all
Mutter[C]ing small talk at the [G]wall
while I’m in the [D]hall
Oh, [G]how can I explain?
[C]It's so [D]hard to get [G]on
And these vi[C]sions of Johan[G]na,
they kept me [D]up past the [G]dawn

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][D]
[G][G]

[Verse 4]
In[G]side the museums,
[C]Infinity goe[D]s up on tri[G]al
Voices echo this is what sal[C]vation must be [D]like
after a [G]while
But Mona [D]Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
[G]
See the [C]primitive wallflower [G]freeze
When the [C]jelly-faced women all [G]sneeze
Hear the [C]one with the mustache say,
[G]“Jeeze I can’t find my [D]knees”
[G]Oh, jewels and binoculars
[C]hang from the hea[D]d of the mul[G]e
But these vi[C]sions of Johan[G]na,
they make it [D]all seem so [G]cruel

[Interlude 4]
[G][C][D]
[G][G]

[Verse 5]
Well, the [G]peddler now speaks to the [C]countess
who’s pre[D]tending to [G]care for him
Sayin’, “Name me someone
that’s not a [C]parasite and I’ll go [D]out
and say a [G]prayer for him”
But like Lou[D]ise always says
“Ya can’t look at much, can ya man?”
As she, herself, pre[G]pares for him
And Ma[C]donna, she still has not [G]showed
We see [C]this empty cage now cor[G]rode
Where her [C]cape of the stage once had [G]flowed
The fid[C]dler, he now steps to the [G]road
He writes ev'[C]rything's been returned
which was [G]owed
On the [C]back of the fish truck that [G]loads
While my conscience ex[D]plodes
The har[G]monicas play the [C]skeleton [D]keys
and the [G]rain
And these vi[C]sions of Johan[G]na
are now [D]all that [G]remain
