I almost dropped out to move to LA
             Am                F   
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
        C			G
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
         Am			F
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
        C			  Gm
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away

(G) It wasn't supposed to be like (D) this
Another dose of (Em) unhappiness
I gave it all and (C) managed to get shot down yet (G) again
So I got drunk

He got up this morning

He settles her down

It all started over and over again

His mom made him breakfast

Gets on the bus Goes out to see the world

He lies on the ground, wipes blood from his nose

Wonders why he's the one that doesn't fit In
(chorus)

The only thing to let him get in Break down:
A B
He gets up
E
He falls down
A
Wishes he could get the nerve to end it all now

He picks up the phone

And he slams it down

And swallows another
A
Now he'll never come around

It's one for one

You can make it

But ya' gotta do it all for yourself

8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin' 
A                    D             E
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
A                         D              E 
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
A                            D          E
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that 
Fm7
means. 
             E
And when she walks, 
        D                   A
All the wind blows and the angels sing. 
Bm                 D	
She doesn't notice me! 

                      A        
Cause she is watchin' wrestling 
              E              
Creamin' over tough guys 
             Fm7
Listenin' to rap metal 
           D
Turntables in her eyes 

            Bm
It's like a bad movie 
               D
She is lookin' through me 
                     Fm7
If you were me, then you'd be 
                   D
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
          Bm
As I fail miserably, 
                  E                     A
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want. 
          E                     A
She's the girl all the bad guys want! 


She likes the Godsmack and I like Agent Orange 
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their
dad 
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty 
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never 
have 
And when she walks, 
All the wind blows and the angels sing. 
She'll never notice me! 
Cause she is watchin' wrestling 
Creamin' over tough guys 
Listenin' to rap metal 
Turntables in her eyes 
She likes 'em with a mustache 
Racetrack season pass 
Drivin' in A Trans-Am 
Does a mullet make a man? 
It's like a bad movie 
She is lookin' through me 
If you were me, then you'd be 
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
As I fail miserably,
 Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want. 
She's the girl all the bad guys want! 
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want! 

Fm7        D
There she goes again 
     Fm7              D          E      Fm7
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair 
             E                 D
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated 
                            E
All I wanted was to see her naked! 

Now I am watchin' wrestling 
Tryin' to be a tough guy 
Listenin' to rap metal 
Turntables in my eyes 
I can't grow a mustache 
And I ain't got no season pass 
All I got's a moped...moped....moped..... 
It's like a bad movie 
She is lookin' through me 
If you were me, then you'd be 
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
As I fail miserably,
 Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.

 who's throwing up before they digest.

 chorus:

Summer Of 69

Let's Do It For Johnny

(Intro) F, G
          C
It was so long ago
              G
That feels so strange to say
            F                         C
How does 18 years ago seem just like yesterday
C
A hundred kids from around the world
                 G
On a ship to the great un-know
             F
Two Boys for every girl
                 C
You'd never been away from home
C
You were drinking something really green
                      G
Hopping around like a grasshopper
                     F
I was sipping diesel gasoline
                       C
Then I threw up on the mezzanine

  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and
C                        Am
Believe me that makes me smile
F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

F, G

                C
We watched the stars shine
                   G
Ate chicken by the slot machienes
              F
I was with a friend of mine
                 C
He got into your room mates jeans
C                                              G
We danced to aerosmith and then we watched the sun appear
                  F         
I took a braclet from your wrst
                    C
You took an ear ring from my ear
C
You twisted one last twirl 
                  G
And kissed me so f*****g hard
                     F
And all at once our friends would leave
                             C
Our hair had tangled in the ocean breeze
C
You told me you loved me
               G
I asked you if you were sure
              F
You said you thought so
                      C
And then I said that I loved you too


  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and
C                        Am
Believe me that makes me smile
F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

F, G

G                  C  
Georgia girl meets Texas boy 
                 G
Place in time so far away
                  F
Like Leonardo D' Capreo 
                    C
But our ship sank a different way
C
A life time in four short days
                    G
Said goodbye and we never looked back
                     F
A few letters always ended the same
                   C
I loved you did you know that


  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and
C                        Am
Believe me that makes me smile
F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
