Capo on third fret.
[Verse]
N.C. D
It's like nothing is for real now.
Em
Moments pass like on a screen now.
D
On the breeze a chill bites numbing.
Em
Now I can feel night coming.
[Bridge]
G Em
Johnny, look, I'm bleeding!
C D
I can feel the world receding.
[Chorus]
G
Can you hear me, Johnny?
C
Time has run out on me.
G
How did I get so messed up?
C
On myself I guess I gave up.
G C
And, Johnny, isn't it funny?
G
My colors turned so dark,
C
I let go in my heart.
G C G C
[Verse]
Em D
All the faces turn austere now.
Em
I look on, but I'm not here now,
D
Like I'm watching from a distance
Em
Scenes play out with cruel insistence.
[Bridge]
G Em
Kill the lights! Muffle the bell!
C D
I'm going straight to hell.
[Chorus]
G
Can you hear me, Johnny?
C
Shadows close in on me.
G
How did I get so messed up?
C
On myself I guess I gave up.
G C
But, Johnny, don't be sorry.
G
The evening lights shine so fine.
C
Johnny, I wrecked my mind.
G C G C
G C
And, Johnny, I can feel night on me.
G
I never got out free,
C
And now they've maddened me.
G C
And, Johnny, isn't it funny?
G
My colors turned so dark,
C
I let go in my heart.
