Johnny and Mary chords
Robert Palmer (Robert Palmer)

Capo II

C Am 2x

Am F G

G               C
Johnny's always running around 
               Am
Trying to find certainty
G                C
He needs all the world to confirm
              Am  Em
That he ain't lonely
                F
Mary counts the walls
               G
Knows he tires easily

G                 C
Johnny thinks the world would be right
                Am
If it could buy truth from you
             C
Mary says he changes his mind 
Am          Em
More than a woman
                 F
But she made her bed
              G
Even when the chance was slim

G C Am  C Am Em  F  G

G                C
Johnny says he's willing to learn
                Am
When he decides he's a fool
                  C 
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
              Am      Em
When he earns time to move
               F
Mary combs her hair
                G
Says she should be used to it

G           C
Mary always hedges her bets
                Am
She never knows what to think
                 G
She says that he still acts like he's
C        Am  Em
Being discovered
                     F
Scared that he'll be caught
          G
Without a second thought

G              C   Am C Am Em  F  G
Running around

G                 C
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
               Am
Trying to talk sense to her
               C
Mary says he's lacking a real
G        Am    Em
Sense of proportion
                 F
So she combs her hair
               G
Knows he tires easily

G               C
Johnny's always running around 
               Am
Trying to find certainty
G                C
He needs all the world to confirm
              Am  Em
That he ain't lonely
                F
Mary counts the walls
                   G
Says she should be used to it

G               C               Am
Johnny's always running around
C              Am Em  F G
Running around . . . .
