G 
Riding in the back seat

Rolling through the neighborhood 
G 
Brought up in the back streets 
C                     D 
Wouldn't change if he could 
G 
It's better than the factory 
C                              D 
Or the shopping mall where you work 
G 
Johnny doesn't actually 
       C               D 
Have to load the gun to make it work 

C               D 
    And all the boys round Johnny 
      G       Em           Bm 
They wanna be dealers and thugs

To the Halifax where she worked 
G

She didn't flinch when he burst 
G 
In through the doorway 
       C                  D 
With a sawn-off under his shirt 
    G 
She knew in the worst way 
     C                  D 
That he was the man for her 


C               D

Knocking down the door
