[Verse]
         D                    
Johnny's always runnin' around
               B7       
Tryin' to find certainty
                 B7              
He needs all the world to confirm
              D7     Gb7
That he ain't lonely ■  
                G    
Mary counts the walls
         A7          
Knows he tires easily
              D                       
Johnny thinks the world would be right
                    B7            
If it could buy the truth from him
             D                                  Gb7
Mary says He changes his mind more than a woman ■  
                     G
But she made her bed ■
              A      Amaj7   
Even when the chance was slim

[Verse]
            D                    
Johnny says He's willing to learn
                B          
When he decides he's a fool
                  D            
Johnny says He'll live anywhere
                   Gb7   
When he earns time ■   to
           Gb7     
Mary combs her hair


[Chorus]
G                    A    A7 A 
■ Says She should be used to it
            D              
Mary always hedges her bets
                B       B7   
She never knows what to think
                 D         
She says that he still acts
                            Gb7
Like he is bein' discovered ■  
                     G     
Scared that he'll be caught
                 A      
Without a second thought
        A     
Runnin' around


[Inst]

[Verse]
             D                      
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
               Bm           B7
Tryin' to talk sense to her ■ 
               D             
Mary says He's lackin' a real
         Gb7       
Sense of proportion
                 G   
So she combs her hair
         A            A7
Knows he tires easily ■ 


[Chorus]
A        D                    
Johnny's always runnin' around
               Bm       
Tryin' to find certainty
                 D               
He needs all the world to confirm
              Gb7   
That he ain't lonely
            G        
Mary counts the walls
                A            
Says She should be used to it
          D

D             
Runnin' around
