Intro: E 
                E                             C#m 
Johnny's always runnin around, trying to find certainty 
                 E                                  G#m 
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely 
                A                     B 
Mary counts the walls, knows he tires easily 

                  E                                    C#m 
Johnny thinks the world would be right if it would buy truth for him 
             E                              G#m 
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman 
                 A                  B               A B 
But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim 

                 E                                C#m 
Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool 
                  E                                G#m 
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he has time to 
               A                       B 
Mary combs her hair. Says he should be used to it 

            E                                C#m 
Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think 
                    E                           G#m 
She says he's still acting like he's being discovered 
                     A                B 
Scared that he'll be caught without a second thought 

{Solo} 

That's it, basically. Just play the same chords again for the last two verses and you're done! :D
