Bridge Chords - D – Bb – D – F#m7 – G - A

Johnny feels hes wasting his breath

Trying to talk sense to her

Mary says hes lacking a real

Sense of proportion

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily

Johnnys always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he aint lonely

Mary counts the walls

Says she should be used to it

Johnnys always running around

Running around.... (fade out)

Notes: these are basic chords that sound pretty right, however they sound much nicer as

chords. Play G as a Bar on 3rd Fret E7 shape. And the A as a bar on the 5th fret E7 shape.
