[Intro]
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
[Verse1]
[Bm]Johnny was a young boy, he liked playing at the p[G]park
And Johnny said:[D]said: oh oh oh, dad can you take me n[A]now?
[Bm]Johnny was young, never hurt no-one, too ea[G]early for that
He was at the park, he met a b[D]boy named Jimmy
[A]He's a cutie
And he chose him [Bm]oh
[Verse2]
Take my heart, take my [G]soul, share my crayons, share my goals
[D]His daddy walked by with a sigh sa[A]said Johnny sit by my side
I’m gonna g[Bm]give you the best advice you've ever heard in your l[G]life
See that boy named Ji[D]Jimmy, yeah, he's a cutie
But oh no Jo[A]Johnny no no no no ah ah ow
[Chorus]
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[D]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[A]You get picked on by another, Better go and run for cover
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[D]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[A]You get picked on by another, Better go and run for cover [F#m]
[Verse3]
[Bm]Johnny started high school at the front of the b[G]bus
Some boys yelled oh[D]oh oh-oh man come sit with [A]us

As he was trying to p[D]play pretend the feeling came rushing [A]in

[A]You get picked on by another, Better go and run for cover
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[D]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[A]You get picked on by another, Better go and run for c[F#m]cover
[Verse4]
[G]And I don't want to talk about the trap, I've dreamed big
Real [D]big since I've been on daddy’s lap
Got my dreams by my s[A]side
Keep them in my pocket so that when I
get the chance I can rip it out and rock it
It’s like my golden ti[G]ticket, it’s the reason that I’m here
Everybody has a d[D]dream, but they're frozen by fear
We won't dance in the r[A]rain, we go and run for cover
All that is to blame is getting picked on by another
So we go and find [G]someone that will love and support us
Says they ado[D]adore us, maybe fought for us
Then, we forget[A]forget about ambitions and decisions have changed
I think that I was only seven when oh
[Chorus]
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[D]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[A]You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for c[F#m]cover, nah no nah no
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[D]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny now
[A]You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover
[Post-chorus]
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny n[D]now
[A]You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, nah nah nah nah
[G]Johnny run away, run away, now, Johnny n[D]now
[A]You'll get picked on by another
Better go and run for cover, nah nah nah nah
