F# B F#7               B
Johnny met Donna and they fell in love 
            Abm B                 F# B F# 
But had no idea what love really was 
                      F# B F#7
but they tried their best 
                     B
to make each other smile 
                    Abm    C#
But while learning themselves 
C#                   F# B F#
They would have a child
F#                                           F#7 
But with no time to think the whole thing through 
                  B
Little time to prepare 
                   Abm      Ab  C#
It got tough to provide for him
C#                    F# B F#
And give him love and care 

[Chorus] 
           B
How, how, how, how 
      Ebm          F#
How do I when and where? 
     B                   Ebm        C#
Are questions that both often asked God 
        B                 F#
Life is full of twist, twist 
C#          B           
Life is full of twirl, twirl, ta-twirl, twirls 
                C#            B              C#         B
Twirls it's the way of the world that flips you upside down 
            C#                 B
When you're young when you're old 
           F#      Bb   Ebm      B
It just spins out of control, whoa 
B     F# B F#7
So, hold on 
                    F# B F#
Because you never know 

[Verse]
             F# B F#7            B
Johnny and Donna slowly recognized 
                     Abm Ab C#
That for the baby's future 
                          F# B F# 
They planned 2 different lives 
                 F# B F#7
Donna wanted a family 
                       B Abm
She wanted to do it right 
                       Abm Ab C#
Make Johnny's house a home 
                    F# B F#
She wanted to be a wife 
                   F# B F#7
But Johnny was a dreamer 
                     B
And he had to move around 
                             Abm Ab C#
Yeah, he'd be there for his child 
                    F# B F#
But wouldn't settle down 

[Chorus] 
           B
How, how, how, how 
      Ebm          F#
How do I when and where? 
     B                    Ebm       C#
Are questions that both often asked God 
          B               F#
Life is full of twist, twist 
C#                B
Life is full of twirl, twirl, ta-twirl, twirls 
               C#           B
Twirls it's the way of the world 
B
It's whirlwinds and girlfriends 
C#          B
Toys and boyfriend, friend, friends 
B
And Frenchmen 
  C#           Ebm
War, peace, impeachment, gentlemen 
                    E                      B
Ladies, Hyundai, Mercedes, mistakes and peach rings
Bb                   Ebm
Blacks and bleach stains
Ebm
Don't forget wasps and bee-stings 

[Verse]
Abm                       F# B F#7
Whether you're Johnny and Donna 
                  B
Or neither of the two 
              Abm    Ab                     F# B F#
Just try to make the best of what's given to you
