[Verse]
                C
Johnny's always running around 
               Am
Trying to find certainty
                 C
He needs all the world to confirm
                   Em
That he ain't lonely
                F
Mary counts the walls
               G
Knows he tires easily

[Verse]
                  C
Johnny thinks the world would be right
                    Am
If he could buy the truth from you
             C
Mary says he changes his mind 
                Em
More than a woman
                 F
But she made her bed
              G
Even when the chance was slim

[Verse]
                 C
Johnny says he's willing to learn
                Am
Then he decides he's a fool
                  C 
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
                        Em
When he earns time to move
               F
Mary combs her hair
                   G
Says she should be used to it

[Verse]
            C
Mary always hedges her bets
                Am
She never knows what to think
                 C
She says that he still acts like he's
             Em
Being discovered
                     F
Scared that he'll be caught
          G
Without a second thought

Running around

[Verse]
                  C
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
               Am
Trying to talk sense to her
               C
Mary says he's lacking a real
                Em
Sense of proportion
                 F
So she combs her hair
               G
Knows he tires easily

[Verse]
                C
Johnny's always running around 
               Am
Trying to find certainty
                 C
He needs all the world to confirm
                  Em
That he ain't lonely - y - y
                F
Mary counts the walls
                   G
Says she should be used to it

[Outro]
                C                 Am
Johnny's always running around...
C               Am  Em  F  G
Running around . . . .
