Sarah Jarosz - Johnny Chords

[intro]
F#

[verse 1]
F#                          C#m           B
Johnny’s on the back porch drinking red wine
   F#                          C#m        B
He knows that it could be the very last time
      E                B      A        F#       E   B
He raises the glass up to his lips and wonders
F#                      C#m         B
How could a boy from a little bay town
     F#                       C#m          B
Grow up to be a man, fly the whole world round
   E
Then end back up on
    B         A            F#     G   D   F#
the same damn ground he started

[chorus]
                G          D   F#
You might not get what you pay for
              G        D    F#
You know that nothing’s for sure
            G        D
And an open heart looks
  Em   D       C    G    F#   C#m7   B   F#   C#m7   B
a lot like the wilderness


[verse 2]
F#
Lately he’s been thinking
          C#m         B
‘bout the meaning of time
    F#
The small amount we’re
               C#m              B
 given must be some sort of crime
        E                       B
Yet the little we have feels like
       A              F#   G   D
too much most of the time
   F#                         C#m        B
He takes another sip of that blood red wine
     F#                              C#m       B
Just waiting on the stars that will never align
         E
a little luck, a little love,
         B
a little light and
          A            F#   G   D   F#
you’ll be doing just fine

[chorus]
                  G            D     F#
But you might not get what you pay for
                G       D     F#
You know that nothing’s for sure
              G     D
And an open heart looks
  Em  D        C    G  F#   C#m   B   A#7
a lot like the wilderness

[bridge]
        G#m          F#
So open up your heart
        A#                   B F# A#
Take it out, and put it back in
         B    F#
Signs are all around you
G#     B     G#   B   F#
Let it begin

[chorus]
              G            D     F#
You might not get what you pay for
                G          D   F#
You know that nothing’s for sure
              G   D
And an open heart looks
  Em  D        C    G  F#
a lot like the wilderness
             G            D     F#
You might not get what you pay for
                G          D   F#
You know that nothing’s for sure
            G     D
And an open heart looks
  Em  D        C    G  F#
a lot like the wilderness

[outro]
C#m  B  F#
C#m  B  F#
