Verse 1: 

A               D                               Bm
Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty
                 D                                F#m
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely
                G                     A
Mary counts the walls, knows he tires easily

A                 D                                     Bm
Johnny thinks the world would be right if it could buy, truth from you
             D                             F#m
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman
                 G                    A
But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim


break:


Verse 2: 

A                D                                 Bm
Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides he's a fool
                  D                              F#m
Johnny says he'll live anywhere, when he earns time to move
               G                        A
Mary combs her hair, says she should be used to it


A           D                                Bm    
Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think
                 D                                 F#m
She says that he still acts like he's, being discovered
                     G                 A
Scared that he'll be caught, without a second thought


break:


Verse 3: 

A                 D                                  Bm  
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her
               D                           F#m
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
                 G                    A
So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily

A               D                               Bm
Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty
                 D                                F#m
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely
                G                         A
Mary counts the walls, says she should be used to it
