Start Jamming...
[Am] Oh, John [E] is scared, [A] each [Bm] place we go.
I'm so [C#m] afraid that he might [D] show.
[E] Yeah, [A] running's scary, what would [Bm] I do?
If he [C#m] came back [E] and [A] wanted you.
Just running's scary, free to [Bm] the low.
[C#m] Running's scary, you [E] loved him so.
Yeah, [A] running's scary, afraid [Bm] to lose.
If he [C#m] came [E] back, which one [A] would you choose?
[D] Then all at once, he was standing there.
So sure of himself, his head in the air.
Oh, my heart was breaking, which one would it be?
He turned around and [E] walked away [A] with me.
