New Order - 1963

It was ^CmJanuary, 1963 When ^GmJohnny came home with a gift for me He said I ^Cmbought it for you because I love you And I ^Gmbought it for you because it's your birthday, too He was ^Cmso very nice, he was so very kind To ^Gmthink of me at this point in time ^Cm I used to think of him, he used ^Gmthink of me

^CmHe told me to close my eyes My ^Gmgift would be a great surprise ^CmI saw tears were in his eyes He ^Gnever meant to hurt me, oh, God

^CmJohnny, don't point that ^Fmgun at me There's so ^Gmmany ways our lives have changed But ^Cmplease, I beg, don't ^Abdo this to me ^CmJohnny, don't point that ^Fmgun at me Can I ^Gmsave my life at any price? For ^CmGod's sake won't you ^Ablisten to me?

And though ^Cmhe was ashamed that he had took a life ^GmJohnny came home with another wife And he ^Cmoften remembered how it used to be Before that ^Gmspecial occasion, 1963 There was ^Cmtoo many ways that you could kill someone Like in a ^Gmlove affair, when the love is gone ^Cm He used to think of her, she used to ^Gmthink of me

^CmHe told me to close my eyes My ^Gmgift would be a great surprise ^CmI saw tears were in his eyes He ^Gnever meant to hurt me, oh, God

^CmJohnny, don't point that ^Fmgun at me There's so ^Gmmany ways our lives have changed But ^Cmplease, I beg, don't ^Abdo this to me ^CmJohnny, you keep on ^Fmusing me Can I ^Gmchange my life for any price? Oh, ^CmJohnny, won't you ^Ablisten to me?

^CmHe told me to close my eyes My ^Gmgift would be a great surprise ^CmI saw hatred in his eyes But he ^Gnever meant to hurt me, oh, God

^CmJohnny, don't point th^Fmat gun at me There's so ^Gmmany ways our lives have changed But ^Cmplease, I beg, don't ^Abdo this to me ^CmJohnny, you keep on ^Fmusing me Can I ^Gmchange my life for any price? Oh, ^CmJohnny, won't you ^Ablisten to me? ^CmI just want you to be mine, ^FmI don't want this world to shine ^GmI don't want this bridge to burn Oh, ^CmJohnny, do you miss me? ^AbI just want to feel for you ^Eb
