Lost Johnny

	  		Lost Johnny 
=========== 
    G  A 
You only get a single chance 
     G    A  
The rules are very plain 
      G   A  
The truth is well concealed inside 
     G A   
the details of the game 
         D  E  
You can see it coming 
         D   E 
You can hear it from afar 
      D   E  
It's pale and it flickers 
        C     D      G-A 
Like a faded movie sta-ar 

    D    E   
And up there in the castle 
          D E      
they're trying to make us scream 
     D  E  
by sticking thumb tacks in her flesh 
     C     D         G-A 
and cancelling the dre-am 

 D   E   
Can you find the Valium? 
 D   E 
Can you bring it soon? 
 C            D                        G-A 
Lost Johnny's out there baying at the Mo-on 

     G    A 
The time has come for you to choose 
           G  A 
and you'd better get it right 
 G  A 
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth 
     G  A  
are waiting in the night 

        D      E  
But you ought to really get some 
    D   E  
It surely can't be hard 
        D  E  
There's always trouble waiting 
          C         D         G-A 
when you leave your own back ya-ard 

    D     E  
And underneath the city 
    D  E   
the alligators sing 
       D    E 
about how the puppets cannot dance 
       C       D           G-A 
since someone cut their stri-ings 

 D  E  
Run and get the morphine 
     D     E 
for God's sake make it brief 
 C            D                      G-A 
Lost Johnny's out there looking for relief 

        G     A 
Now he sounds and looks so evil 
          G   A  
and you know he really tries 
    G   A  
but every time he makes a play 
      G A  
that vital number dies 

     D  E    
And Sally buys her underwear 
         D     E 
from a store where no-one goes 
     D    E 
She makes it big in photographs 
          C          D        G-A 
on the strength of what she sho-ows 

     D   E 
And here inside the waiting room 
     D  E  
the radio still screams 
     D    E 
And we're all taking Tuenol 
    C     D           G-A  
to murder our young dre-ams 

 D  E  
Run and fetch your credit card 
  D  E 
Try to make it quick 
 C            D                            G-A 
Lost Johnny's out there trying to turn a tri-ick
