Johnny was a young boy, he liked playing at the park
                D                               A
And Johnny said: oh oh oh, dad can you take me now?
Bm                                         G
Johnny was young, never hurt no-one, too early for that

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

                     D                                    A
As he was trying to play pretend the feeling came rushing in

[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
