Johnny Sunrise
The Fat Lady Sings from the album 'Johnson'
Intro: – – –
You're a star, he says, you've bottled your grace
It's a laugh to watch you try to keep pace
With the steps we made together one night with beer
And you called me… Johnny Sunrise
Johnny Sunrise walks away from me…
Takes his time and he takes me too seriously
Locks his thoughts away in a box he built
While I was gone… Johnny Sunrise
CHORUS
But remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out
–
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on…
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded
(hold…) (hold…)
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry
C (hold…) D (hold…)
But then we weren't in a hurry…
V2
Our faces are mirrors lines and scars that we've earned
All the classes we missed all the lessons we learned
All the roads that we took that took us apart
Now you're sitting there saying, "Let's go back to the start."
And he says, "Lose that luggage let it all go…”
Job you got job you lost what it cost all the things you now know
All the girls you once had and the man that you are
Let's climb off this world again
And climb into my car
Let's climb into my car
(keep strumming‘’)
Drive away in my car
CHORUS
And remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out
–
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on…
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a million
years, but then, we didn't have a million years, million years,
million years…
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded
(hold…)
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry
C (hold…) D (stay on D to fade)
But then we weren't in a hurry…
