[Intro]
Bm F#m Em A Em A Em A (2x)
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m Em A
Have a seat and I'll tell you a tale
Em A Em A
It wasn't that long ago..
Bm F#m Em A
About a guy who turned out to be a cheater got the heater
Em A Em A
So the story goes:
Bm F#m Em
He tried the playboy-thing on two friends
A Em A Em A
Thinking that they'd never know.
Bm F#m Em A
They say he got caught in a trap and it snapped
Em A Em A
He's not around anymore...
[Chorus]
Poor Johnny,
D F#m
He came home looking cool one day,
Bm G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
D F#m
Once from the left... then from the right
Bm G A
They took him down, late that night.
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m Em A
Now everyone in town knew he always played around
Em A Em A
But not a word was said.
Bm F#m
All the money and the clothes,
Em A Em A Em A
And the cars that he drove just kept his ego fed.
Bm F#m Em A
To his friends he was king, cause he thought of everything
Em A Em A
Except his number one.
Bm F#m Em A
She had the kids and the house, while he was always out
Em A Em A
Leaving his homework undone.
[Chorus]
Poor Johnny,
D F#m
He came home looking cool one day,
Bm G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
D F#m
Once from the left... then from the right
Bm G A
They took him down, late that night.
[Verse 3]
A F#m
Then one day his luck ran out.
Bm F#m
When number two found a number and called his house.
A F#m
Word on the street is that they talked all night
A7
They had to teach him a lesson,
A7
They had to make things right.
[Chorus]
Poor Johnny,
D F#m
He came home looking cool one day,
Bm G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
D F#m
Once from the left... then from the right
Bm G A
They took him down, late that night.
