Johnny Run Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Johnny was a young boy,
he liked playing at the [F]park
And Johnny said,
[C]"Oh, dad, can you take me [G]now?"
[Am]Johnny was young, never hurt no one,
too [F]early for that
He was at the [C]park,
he met a boy named Jim[G]my

[Pre-chorus 1]
He's a cutie and he chose him
[Am]Oh, take my heart, take my s[F]oul
Share my crayons, share my [C]goals
His daddy walked by with a [G]sigh
Said, "Johnny, sit by my side
I'm gonna [Am]give you the best advice
You've ever heard in your [F]life
See that boy named [C]Jimmy, yeah, he's a cutie
But no, no, [G]Johnny, no, no, no, ah, ah, oh"

[Chorus 1]
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, yeah
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for [G]cover

[Verse 2]
[Am]Johnny started high school
at the front of the [F]bus
Some boys yelled, [C]"Oh man, come sit with [G]us"
[Am]Johnny found a seat with a boy named Pete
and [F]felt it again
As he was trying to [C]play pretend,
the feelings came rushing [G]in

[Chorus 2]
And he thought
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, yeah
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover

[Bridge 1]
And [F]I don't wanna talk about the trap,
I've dreamed big
Real [C]big since I've been on daddy's lap
Got my dreams by my [G]side
Keep them in my pocket
so that when I get the chance
I can rip it out and rock it
It's like my golden [F]ticket,
it's the reason that I'm here
Everybody has a [C]dream, they're frozen by fear
We won't dance in the [G]rain,
we go and run for cover
All that is to blame
is getting picked on by another
So we go and find [F]someone
that will love and support us
Says they a[C]dore us, maybe fought for us
Then, we for[G]get
about ambitions and decisions were changed

[Chorus 3]
I think that I was only seven when, oh
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, yeah
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny now
[C]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [G]now
You'll get picked on by another

[Outro 1]
Better go and run for cover
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [C]now
Getting picked on by [G]another
Better go and run for cover
Nah, no, nah, no
[F]Johnny run away, run away now, Johnny [C]now
Getting picked on by [G]another
Better go and run for cover
Nah, no, nah, no
