To My Brother Johnny

                          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.

[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
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.
