AThinking that they'd nEmever kAnow. Em A
They sBmay he got cF#maught in a trEmap and it snapAped
He's not aEmround anAymore... Em A
[Chorus]
Poor Johnny,
DHe came home looking cF#mool one day,
BmJust wasn't lucky to come Gout that way
Once from the lDeft... then from the F#mright
They took him dBmown, late that niGght. A
[Verse 2]
Now Bmeveryone in tF#mown knew he alEmways played arouAnd
But not a wEmord was saAid. Em A

And the cEmars that he Adrove just kept his Emego fAed.Em A
To his frBmiends he was kF#ming, cause he thEmought of eveArything
Except his nuEmmber onAe. Em A
She had the kiBmds and the hoF#muse, while Emhe was always Aout
Leaving his hoEmmework unAdone.Em A

Poor Johnny,
DHe came home looking cF#mool one day,
BmJust wasn't lucky to come Gout that way
Once from the lDeft... then from the F#mright
They took him dBmown, late that niGght. A
[Verse 3]
AThen one day his luF#mck ran out.
When number tBmwo found a number and cF#malled his house.
WAord on the street is that they tF#malked all night
They had to tA7each him a lesson,
They had to A7make things right.
[Chorus]
Poor Johnny,
DHe came home looking cF#mool one day,
BmJust wasn't lucky to come Gout that way
Once from the lDeft... then from the F#mright
They took him dBmown, late that niGght. A
