[D] Hey Johnny, where are you now when I need you, now when [G] I need you [A] so bad?
[D] Just one [A] word comes straight from your [D] heart, make [G] me feel so [A] glad
Death and disease, altogether like starlets in [D] their splits
And [G] I sure would like to [D] see your [A] honest face
[D]
Hey Eddie, where are you now when I miss you, [G] now when I miss you [A] like hell?
[D] If you [A] were here I know [D] you'd make me [G] believe again in [A] myself
You don't owe me nothing, I'm not calling you [D] away
So [G] please don't feel [F#m] accused [D] when [A] I say
Where are you now [D] when I need you, when I [A] need you [Bm] so bad?
My head's [C] almost [D] exploded and the tension drives [F#m] me mad
[A] And maybe you wonder, do [G] I really believe I need you?
But [D] I do
[A] Hey
[C]
[D] you, [A] where are you now when [D] I dream about you [G] in nightmares [A] every night?
[D] You're on [A] a big wheel, [D]
high above me, [G] almost out of [A] my sight
And just as I wake you shout down something that sounds like
Why are you [D] not free?
But [G] by the time I'm dressed [D] you're just a [A] memory
Where are you now when I [D] need you, when I need you so [Bm] bad?
My head's [A] almost [C] exploded [D] and the tension drives me [F#m] mad
And maybe you wonder, do [G] I really believe I need you?
But [D] I do
[A]
[D] [C]
[D] Hey mama, where are you now?
I hurt for you, [G] I hurt for you so [A] hard
[D] You heard [A] this song, I know you, [D] you'd come [G] somehow
No matter [A] how far, [D] there's a hundred things that [A] I want to say [D] to you
I let [G] go rushing through [A] my head
[D] But when [A] we meet, like [D] we always do, we leave [G] the best things [A] unsaid
My God, isn't that lonely?
That's lonely [D] as hell
To know the truth [G] always, [D] but be too scared to [A] tell
Where are you now [D] when I need you, when I need [A] you [Bm] so bad?
My heart's [A] almost [C] exploded [D] and the tension drives [F#m] me mad
And maybe you wonder, do [G] I really believe I need you?
But [D] I do
[A] But [C] I do
[D]
