Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO
Ab Eb x4

VERSE 1
       Cm
It was January, 1963
     Gm
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
          Cm
He said I bought it for you because I love you
      Gm
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too
       Cm
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
   Gm                                 Cm
To think of me at this point in time
                                Gm
I used to think of him, he used think of me

PRE-CHORUS
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
   Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes
   G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God

CHORUS
Cm                       Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
           Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
    Cm                   Ab
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Cm                       Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
      Gm
Can I save my life at any price?
    Cm                   Ab
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

INTERLUDE
Ab Eb x2

VERSE 2
           Cm
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Gm
Johnny came home with another wife
       Cm
And he often remembered how it used to be
            Gm
Before that special occasion, 1963
          Cm
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
          Gm                                   Cm
Like in a love affair, when the love is gone
                                     Gm
He used to think of her, she used to think of me

PRE-CHORUS
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
   Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes
   G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God

But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Cm                  Fm
Johnny, you keep on using me
      Gm
Can I change my life for any price?
    Cm                Ab
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine,

I don't want this world to shine
Gm
I don't want this bridge to burn
    Cm
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
Ab                           Eb
I just want to feel for you
