[Verse 1]
A Asus4 A Asus4
There was Johnny like a stranger,
A Asus4
Living in a small town,
A Asus4
Measuring the small time,
A Asus4 A Asus4
He was thinner than a razor,
A Asus4
Johnny in a small town,
A
Living with his thumb on the trigger,
Asus4
Wishing he could be,
A Asus4
Just a little bit bigger,
Asus4 A C
Bored,
A Asus4 A Asus4
To the heart of himself.
[Verse 2]
A Asus4 A Asus4
He was trouble in the making,
A Asus4
Trouble in the keeping,
A7 A
History repeating,
A Asus4 A Asus4
He was walking into danger,
A Asus4
Johnny in a small town,
A
Looking for a light in the tunnel,
Asus4
Creeping in the dark and,
A
Doubting that the sun'll,
Asus4 A C
Shine,
A Asus4 E
To the heart of himself.
[Chorus]
G D/F# A
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
G D/F# A
Happiness is just around the corner,
G D/F#
And he tells himself,
A
It'll be okay,
G Bm A Asus4 A Asus4
Happiness is just a life away.
[Verse 3]
A Asus4 A Asus4
She was pretty as a picture,
A Asus4
Shining in a window,
A7 A
Everybody said so,
A Asus4 A Asus4
What did Johnny have to give her,
A Asus4
Johnny in a small town,
A
Putting on a suit he had borrowed,
A7
Knowing she would probably,
A
Leave him tomorrow,
Asus4 A C A D A
Weak and alone with himself.
[Chorus]
G D/F# A
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
G D/F# A
Happiness is just around the corner,
G D/F#
And he tells himself,
A
It'll be okay,
G D/F# F A
Happi----ness is just a life away.
[Bridge]
A Asus4
Everything is different but,
A Asus4
It's all the same to him,
E D A
Everything is nothing like it was,
F#m
Before she came,
E
Before she stayed,
F#m
And went away.

[Verse 4]
Asus4 A Asus4
She left Johnny like a stranger,
A Asus4
Waiting in a small town,
A7
Measuring the small time,
A Asus4 A Asus4
Nights were longer than the days were,
A Asus4
Living in a small town,
A
Looking for a door he could open,
A7 A Asus4
Hoping that he wouldn't break until he broken,
Asus4 A C
Free,
A Asus4
To the heart of himself.
[Chorus]
G D/F# A
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
G D/F# A
Happiness is just around the corner,
G D/F#
And he tells himself,
A
It'll be okay,
G D/F# F A
Happi----ness is just a life away.
[Outro]
G D/F# A
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
G D/F# A
Happiness is just around the corner,
G D/F#
And he tells himself,
A
It'll be okay,
G D/F# F A Asus4
Happi----ness is just a life away.
A Asus4
A life away,
A Asus4
Just a life away.
