It was January, 1963
     Gm
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
          Cm
He said I bought it for you because I love you
      Gm
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too
       Cm
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
   Gm                                 Cm
To think of me at this point in time
                                Gm
I used to think of him, he used think of me

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm
He told me to close my eyes
   Gm
My gift would be a great surprise

Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes 

   G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God

[Refrão]

Cm                       Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
           Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
    Cm                   Ab
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Cm                       Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
      Gm
Can I save my life at any price?
    Cm                   Ab
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

           Cm
And though he was ashamed

That he had took a life
 Gm
Johnny came home with another wife
       Cm
And he often remembered how it used to be
            Gm
Before that special occasion, 1963
          Cm
There was too many ways that you

Could kill someone
           Gm
Like in a love affair
                  Cm
When the love is gone
                                     Gm
He used to think of her, she used to think of me

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm
He told me to close my eyes
   Gm
My gift would be a great surprise

Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes 

   G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God

Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

I don't want this world to shine

I don't want this bridge to burn

Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
