And Johnny said: oh oh oh, dad can you take me now?
Bm                     G

He was at the park, he met a boy named Jimmy
A
He's a cutie

And he chose him oh
Verse 2:

Take my heart, take my soul, share my crayons, share my goals

His daddy walked by with a sigh said Johnny sit by my side
      Bm                         G
I’m gonna give you the best advice you've ever heard in your life
           D
See that boy named Jimmy, yeah, he's a cutie
      A
But oh no Johnny no no no no ah ah ow


Chorus:
G
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A
You get picked on by another, Better go and run for cover
G
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A                             F#m
You get picked on by another, Better go and run for cover


Verse 3:
Bm                       G
Johnny started high school at the front of the bus
          D            A
Some boys yelled oh oh-oh man come sit with us
Bm                        G
Johnny found a seat with a boy named Pete and felt it again
           D                  A
As he was trying to play pretend the feeling came rushing in

And he thought
Chorus:
G

Verse 4:
G
And I don't want to talk about the trap, I've dreamed big
   D
Real big since I've been on daddy’s lap
           A
Got my dreams by my side

Keep them in my pocket so that when I get the chance I can rip it out and rock it
           G
It’s like my golden ticket, it’s the reason that I’m here
         D
Everybody has a dream, but they're frozen by fear
            A
We won't dance in the rain, we go and run for cover

All that is to blame is getting picked on by another
         G
So we go and find someone that will love and support us
       D
Says they adore us, maybe fought for us
        A
Then, we forget about ambitions and decisions have changed

I think that I was only seven when oh


Chorus:
G
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A
You'll get picked on by another
            F#m
Better go and run for cover, nah no nah no
G
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A
You'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover


Post-Chorus:
G                    D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A
You'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover, nah nah nah nah
G                    D
Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
A
You'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover, nah nah nah nah
