Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (E flataug) (G major) (F major) I was the (E minor) girl
in the bubble at school (A major)
Behind my own (D major) personal
wall (G major) for protection
I'd (E minor) sit there alone (C sharpdim) like a fool (A major)
I nev (C major) er was able (F major) to
make (G major) a connection
Then (E minor) one day I tried out for the play (A major)
I'll (C major) never forget (D major) it, a (G major) flea in her ear,
and I was (E minor) suddenly someone with (C sharpdim) something (A major) to say,
(C sharpdim) mak (C major) ing a sound (F major) everybody could (G major) hear.
And (E minor) sud denly everything
made (E flataug) some sense,
then (E minor) I saw this guy in the audi (A major) ence.
And there (G major) was John, (B major)
fifth row on (E minor) the aisle
with a big smile on. (C sharpdim)
(A major) And after the (Dsus4) show he
came (G major) backstage (B major)
And now that this bird (E minor) ie
was out of her cage
(C sharpdim) Well, (A major) everything (A minor) was okay (D major)
We'd (B major) date for (E minor) a year,
then we're cohabitating (A major)
Then I get (C major) a big chance (D major)
to take (G major) the next step
(B major) Away (E minor) from a job I was hat (A major) ing
And into a (A minor) slot (D major) in the re (G major) gional rep.
In rehears (E minor) al all day,
after day, (E flataug) after day.
Creat (E minor) ing an (G major) d play (E minor) ing,
an (C sharpdim) d play (A major) after play.
And (C major) night after night,
ignit (C minor) ing the spark.
Con (E minor) necting with all of those
folk (F major) s in the dark.
And John (G major) was there, (B major)
there with a smile
(E minor) and his hands in the air (C sharpdim)
Clapping (A major) (C major) for me (Dsus4) and
(D major) back home (G major) we'd go
(B major) Happy togeth (E minor) er for eight
or nine hours (C sharpdim) or (A major) so
And everything (A minor) was okay
(D major) And then (A minor) I'd be gone again
(Dsus4) This life (B flat major) takes everything you give (E flat major) it.
Like a (D major) puppy or a kid.
But if (G minor) you really love it, (C major) you live it.
And that's (F major) what I did.
Played (E flataug) ca (E minor) rousel on the
road for (A major) the winter.
From (A minor) April to Jun (D major) e I toured Cab (G major) aret.
Then Mother (B major) Cour (E minor) age in stock
in England (A major) all summer,
and (A minor) John tried to call (F major) almost every (G major) day. (B major)
He told (E minor) me he wanted some
kids and a wife,
and that's when I realized
this (A major) is my life. (C sharpdim)
(E minor) I made my choice,
but I nev (B major) er expressed it.
(E minor) An d when I got home, can you (A major) guess?
Yeah, I
Guess did.
John (G major) was gone. (B major)
Everything on (E minor) the left of
the closet was (C sharpdim) gone. (A major)
His elec (A minor) tric guitar and (F major) his amp and his
car were gone. (G major) Just poof. (B major)
There I was stand (E minor) ing
under (C sharpdim) a roof alone.
And yes, (C major) my heart was al (A minor) most broken.
But (Adim) I'd made my choice,
and (C minor) I'd make (F major) it again.
And now, (B flat major) where's John? (D major)
I think Portland, (G minor) Maine.
Or maybe it's (C major) Oregon.
With a kid (C minor) and a wife.
And here (B flat major) is me. (D major)
Another dress (G minor) ing room number
one thousand (C major) and three.
Ex (C minor) actly where I should be. (F major)
Exactly (C minor) where we should be. (F major)
And (E flat minor) everything's okay
(A flat major)
There Was John
