G [Verse] G Roll the credits, Johnny C You up there in the projection booth G Our dream-time is over D Time to put our shoes on and hit the street [Verse] C G But wasn't it beautiful? C Didn't we forget about the sad times for awhile? G The good guys won D The bad guys tasted bitterness and defeat [Verse] G We kissed the leading ladies C Felt the warmth of their deep caress G Drank with kings and prophets D We rode rocket ships to the stars [Verse] G But it's dark now on the streets of life C "Christ, I think I lost my pocket knife in there G Goddamn it, Johnny, I can't even remember where in hell D We parked the car" [Chorus] C But singing keeps the fear away G And whistling keeps the wolves at bay G Remembering all we might have been G All the love that could have been D Let's storm the old ramparts C Let's sing the love songs D G C D G From old movies in our hearts [Verse] The way she held her hair back with her hand C Christ, I wish I was her leading man G She knows more than you'll ever know, talks to birds and animals D Why won't she talk to me? [Verse] G Wish she could just step down off the screen C That little blond in tight black jeans G Christ, I'm losing my mind now, Johnny D The crows are laughing at us, up in the trees [Chorus] C But singing keeps the fear away G And whistling keeps the wolves at bay G Remembering all we might have been G All the love that could have been D Let's storm the old ramparts C Let's sing those love songs D G C D G From old movies in our hearts C Let's sing old love songs D G From the movies in our hearts [Outro] C G Roll the credits, Johnny C G Hey, roll the credits, Johnny C G Roll the credits, Johnny
