Johnny Was A Pyro Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Joh[G]nny was a[A][G][A]
[G]Pyr[A]o[G]
[Em]by Patty Larkin
[A]Johnny Was A Pyro and
[G]he acted like a baby
Wanted [A]all of this attention
I couldn't [G]give
Drink a [A]bottle of hard stuff,
say I [G]love you now save me
Just a [A]big guy with a big sense [G]of sin

[Verse 2]
And the [A]neighbor down the block in
his un[G]derwear and socks
Keeping [A]track of the losses and [G]wins
With his [A]wife hanging out the window
wondering [G]which way the wind blows
As I [A]fumble the key in the lock again,
[G]sin[D]ging

[Verse 3]
Oh [G]me
[A]What am I doing with this ring on my [D]hand
Oh [G]me
If [A]this is the good life who's choosin [D]it
Oh [G]me
[A]Mama's best woman and
daddy's be[D]st man
Oh [G]me
I'm [A]highly in danger of losin it

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][A][G]

[Verse 4]
[A]Johnny Was A Pyro and he
[G]acted like a baby
Got a [A]phone call from wild
almost every [G]night
Well he [A]loved me but he really loved
looking [G]past me to the ladies
He was [A]much too good looking
for [G]his height

[Verse 5]
We [A]were a couple of kis
crawling [G]out of the crib
Talking about the [A]positives
and the negatives of [G]wine
[A]Living our lives just like [G]Hemingway did
But he was [A]lucky,
he was a genius most [G]of [D]the time

[Verse 6]
Oh [G]me
[A]What am I doing with this
ring on my [D]hand
Oh [G]me
If [A]this is the good life who's choosin [D]it
Oh [G]me
[A]Mama's best woman and
daddy's best [G]man[D]
Oh [G]me
I'm [A]highly in danger of losin

[A][G][A][G][A][G]
[A][G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[A]He was sideswiped by the clue bus
when it came to talking two of us
And the while thing ended ugly [G]I guess
You can put your [A]cards out on the
table but if [G]nobody wants to play
Well, you [A]haven't got a game
you've got a mess
[G]I was

[Verse 8]
[A]looking at the judge leaning
on my [G]lawyer like a crutch
And the [A]judge said what
happened [G]and why
I said, [A]Johnny Was A Pyro and he
[G]acted like a baby
Now there's [A]nothing like
the sound of [Esus4]good bye[G][D]
[G]Oh me

[Verse 9]
[A]What am I doing with this
ring on my [D]hand
Oh [G]me
If [A]this is the good life [D]who's choosin it
Oh [G]me
[A]Mama's best woman and
daddy's be[D]st man[G][D]
[G]Oh me
I'm [A]highly in danger of losin
