G
So he told you that you're the dream
               D7
That he's been searching for
       G
And he told you he's never met
             D7
Someone like you before
 
          G
And I can hear him telling you
                C
Your lips taste just like cherry wine
           G
But did he tell you
          C               G
That he's known as Johnny One Time
 
      
Did he tell you that your heart
           D7
Would soon become another trinket
       C                  G
On his bracelet of broken hearts
                         C
Did he tell you that the morning sun
 
      G                         D7
Would find you patching up your shattered pride
                              G
And searching for the missing parts
 
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
                  C
Will disappear in flames shaped like mine
       G                  C
Did he tell you that he's known as
           G       
Johnny One Time
 

So he told you that he'd never 
          D7
Lead your heart astray
       G
And he told you that he'd love you
              D7
Forever and a day
 
          G
And I can hear him telling you
            C
That he's a shy and bashful kind
           G
But did he tell you 
          C               G
That he's known as Johnny One Time
