Joanna chords by Lee Macdougall

[Verse]

   E                        C#m                    B                     A
It cut like a knife through the morning light and hurt like I couldn't pretend
E                          C#m       B                 A
 She said "Thanks for the memories, but this is where we end"
E                  C#m         B                       A
 She said "In all honesty, I hoped it might work but it won't"
      E                        C#            B                     A
"Cos you're not the boy that you used to be, he had a spark and you don't"


[Pre-Chorus]

   E                            C#m                        B                     A
I told her I'd change, it could still be the same but she said I was wasting my time
      E                       C#m                       B                          A
With tears in my eyes I said "Love never dies" but she said that she'd made up her mind
    E                     C#m                    B                A
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
         E                        C#m                      B                A
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"

[Chorus]

  E                 A          C#m         B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me?
  E                 A          C#m          B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me?
  E                 A          C#m         B      E A
Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out
    C#m          A
My heart keeps calling -


[Verse]

E              C#m               B                     A
 My body was paralysed and the doctor said there was no cure
E              C#m       B               A
 I'd never known anything to hurt that much before
E              C#m                 B                         A
 I tried to forget her face and I tried not to write her this song
E              C#m        B            A
 I went to my happy place, but I didn't stay long


[Pre-Chorus]

   E                          C#m                     B                      A
I called out her name to the stars and the rain, I banged and I banged on her door
     E                       C#m                     B                       A
She said "Look it's over, go home and get sober. I don't need your grief anymore."
   E                      C#m                    B                   A
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
         E                       C#m                       B                  A
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"


[Chorus]

E                   A          C#m         B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me?
E                   A          C#m          B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me?
E                   A          C#m         B      E A
Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out
    C#m          A
