Now there's [G] this guy who you think he your friend,
oh, but he's not.
You will see him again.
[C] He's a guy who will soon make you cry.
Now you just wait.
And then [A] you'll know him.
[D] [G] Johnny's heartbreak.
Now that's your girl that he's talking to.
But he's your friend, so that don't matter to you.
[C] So you'll laugh, and then you'll call him a joker.
But can you still laugh after your heart is broken
[A] and you've lost your [D] girl?
[G] Johnny's heartbreak.
[C] He's a guy who was once my friend,
[G] but he's not.
It's a pitiful sin.
[C] He's a guy who didn't mean me no good.
[A] He took my girl.
[D] Oh, that's right.
Good.
And I [G] know you'll say that your girl is true.
But when you hate, it ain't happening to you.
But [C] he'll come, and then he'll wait and wait.
So your girl, you'll make her day.
[A] And you'll know your [D] friend.
His name is [G] Johnny's heartbreak.
You'll know your friend.
And they call him, and they [A] call him, call [D] him, call him,
your [G] Johnny's heartbreak.
And she's [A] a guy.
She's a strong-hearted [D] guy.
His name is [G] Johnny's heartbreak.
She's [A] crazy.
He's a little guy.
[D] So heartbreak, you think the [G] game is Johnny's heartbreak.
Oh, Johnny, [A] Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, [D] Johnny,
Mr.
[G] Johnny's heartbreak.
[A] [D]
