Bb
Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
Bb
Intended it as a cautionary tale
Gm
You said you saw yourself inside there
F
Dog-eared it like a how-to manual
Bb
Remember one summer we walked in Times Square
Bb
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
Gm
You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire
F
We took the blame, took the bags to the train
Eb7M F
Happy Birthday, Johnny
F#º Gm Dm
Wherever you are
Eb7M F
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Bb
Wherever you are
Bb
The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve
Bb
You asked me for dough to get somethin' to eat
Gm
Since we last spoke, you live on the street
F
Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the shit that you seen
Eb7M F
Happy New Year, Johnny
F#º Gm Dm
Is it 23?
Eb7M F
Happy New Year, Johnny
Bb
Are the lights on the trees?
Bb
When I said, Let me think, and you yelled through your teeth
Bb
Accused me of actin' like all royalty
Gm
Always for show, no true charity
F
You saw me on magazines and TV
Bb
But if they only knew the real version of me
Bb
Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear
Gm
What happened to blood, our family?
F
Annie, how could you do this to me?
Eb7M F F#º Gm Dm
Of course, I blame me
Eb7M F
When you get free, Johnny
Bb
I hope you find peace
