[Primeira Parte]
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
GmCm
To think of me at this point in time
Gm
I used to think of him, he used think of me
[Pré-Refrão]
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
CmI saw tears were in his eyesG
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God
[Refrão]
CmFm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
CmAb
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
CmFm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
Can I save my life at any price?
CmAb
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
( AbEbAbEb )
[Segunda Parte]
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
Like in a love affair
Cm
When the love is gone
Gm
He used to think of her, she used to think of me
[Pré-Refrão]
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
CmI saw tears were in his eyesG
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God
[Refrão]
CmFm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
CmAb
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
CmFm
Johnny, you keep on using me
Gm
Can I change my life for any price?
CmAb
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
( AbEbAbEb )
[Pré-Refrão]
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
CmI saw hatred in his eyesG
But he never meant to hurt me, oh, God
[Refrão]
CmFm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
CmAb
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
CmFm
Johnny, you keep on using me
Gm
Can I change my life for any price?
CmAb
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
Cm
I just want you to be mine
Fm
I don't want this world to shine
Gm
I don't want this bridge to burn
Cm
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
AbEb
I just want to feel for you
AbEb
I will always feel for you
