[F#m] [F#] [B]
[F#m] [Bm]
[E]
[F#m] Tell you a tale
[Em] Wasn't that long [F#m] ago?
About [Bm] a guy who turned out to [Em] be a cheater [F#m] got the heater
So the story [Em] goes
[F#m] [Bm] He tried to [F#m] play one thing [Em] on two friends
[F#m] Thinking [Em] that they'd [F#m] never know
[Em] [F#m] [Bm] Said he [F#m] got caught in a [Em] trap
[F#m] Now he's [Em] not around
[F#m] anymore
[Em] [A] poor [D] Johnny
Came home [F#m] looking cool one day
[Bm] Just wasn't lucky to [G] come out that [Em] way
Which [D] from the left [Bm]
[F#m] and from the right
They [Bm] took him down
late [G] that night
[Bm] Everyone [F#m] in town knew [Em] he always made [F#m] the rounds
[Em] But not a [F#m] word was said
[Em] [F#m]
[Bm] Money and the [F#m] clothes
[Em] The cars that he [F#m] drove kept [Em] his ego [F#m] fed
[Em] [F#m]
To [Bm] his friends he [F#m] was king cause [Em] he thought of [F#m] everything except [Em] his
[F#m] number one
She had the [Bm] kids in [F#m] the house
[Em] He was [A] always out leaving [Em] us home
[F#m] [Em] [A]
[D] [F#m] Looking cool one day [Bm] just wasn't lucky to come out [Em] that way
Which from the [Bm] left [E] and from the [F#m] right?
[Bm] They took him down
that [Em] night
[G]
[Em] [G]
[G#] [A] Then one day his [F#m] luck ran out
When [Bm] number two found a number at your car the [F#] house
[B] [A] Word on the [F#m] street is that they talked all night.
They had to teach him a lesson.
They had to make me try
