[Verse]
A Amaj7 A Hey, if I could I'd sit you down buy
Amaj7
you a drink and ask you how
D You got a cowboy ridin' to

slow on down and walk the line and
A Amaj7 I'd wanna hear it from the start,
A Amaj7
how many times did

he break your heart?
D From what I'm readin',

why didn't you leave him
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 When he came home late on booze and pills A7sus2 D Lyin' through that perfume smell comin'

off his shirt?
D What made you wanna make it work? A Amaj7 Did you always know he'd come around,
A7sus2
change his ways and settle down?
D Did your friends call you crazy too? D It'd sure help if I knew, hey June,
A Amaj7 A7sus2 D
why Johnny?
[Verse]
A Amaj7 A Did you know deep down inside your bones
Amaj7
he'd be yours and yours alone?
D Or were you just hoping?

And how did you keep hoping?
A Amaj7 A I think I've got a Johnny of my own,
Amaj7
but will he change? Heck if I know
D Yes, I'm just hoping, but

how do I keep hoping
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 When he came home late on booze and pills A7sus2 D Lyin' through that perfume smell comin'

off his shirt?
D What made you wanna make it work? A Amaj7 Did you always know he'd come around,
A7sus2
change his ways and settle down?
D Did your friends call you crazy too? D It'd sure help if I knew, hey June,
A Amaj7 A7sus2 D
why Johnny?
[Bridge]
A Amaj7 Why Johnny? And how June A7sus2 Did you make him realize it
D
was always you?
D Did you ever wanna find somebody new? [Chorus]
A Amaj7 When he came home late on booze and pills A7sus2 D Lyin' through that perfume smell comin'

off his shirt?
D What made you wanna make it work? A Amaj7 Did you always know he'd come around,
A7sus2
change his ways and settle down?
D Did your friends call you crazy too?

Bet you could've had

anyone you wanted to
A Amaj7 A7sus2 D So, hey, June, why Johnny? [Outro] A Why Johnny? How, June?
