Johnny Come Last Tab

by The Fratellis



VERSE

                                   
Well ask me that question oh ask me again
                                             
When you swore that you knew me you didn't say when
                              
Happiness, Happiness comes in a jar
                                             
You're a brave little Cunt but you took it too far
                                      
And all of the tantrums and each of the lies
                                          
They took ages to think up that's no big surprise
                                            
And last but not least you're a good talented boy
                                               
But you stole all the answers and killed all the joy

CHORUS

                             
Well I loved you before but I don't any more
                                      
You're just burned out and vicious and dumb
                                 
And I don't like the way that you mean what you say
                              
And I don't like what you've become

VERSE

                                     
Tell me you mean it I'll tell you, you don't
                                          
You say that you'll try but I know that you won't
                                                    
Well there's one God knows where and there's one in Japan
                                            
Was a hundred degrees you got shit scared and ran
                            
Well Johnny go easy Johnny go fast
                                 
Johnny come lately and Johnny come last
                                   
Housewives are heroes and everyone's bent
                                         
Well if this was a joke well it's some accident

CHORUS

                             
Well I loved you before but I don't any more
                                      
You're just burned out and vicious and dumb
                                 
And I don't like the way that you mean what you say
                              
And I don't like what you've become

Well give a month and I'll write you line
                                           
Or two maybe three though it might take some time
                                                
I'll write them for drunks and I'll sing them for cash
                                            
Well you know that old saying about gone in a flash?
                                       
They wrote that for me and it fits me so well
                                          
It's been my fucking pleasure I bid you farewell
                                    
Green is the colour but don't it fade fast?
                              
Remember me fondly, Johnny come last

CHORUS

                             
Well I loved you before but I don't any more
                                      
You're just burned out and vicious and dumb
                                 
And I don't like the way that you mean what you say
                              
And I don't like what you've become
