Robert Palmer

Johnny and Mary

Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim
Johnny says hes willing to learn
When he decides hes a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns to time to move
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts
Like he is being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around
Bridge Chords - D – Bb – D – F#m7 – G - A
Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says hes lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it
Johnnys always running around
Running around.... (fade out)
Notes: these are basic chords that sound pretty right, however they sound much nicer as
chords. Play G as a Bar on 3rd Fret E7 shape. And the A as a bar on the 5th fret E7 shape.
