Johnny grew up singing in the choir,
                        C                    D
but somewhere along the way, Johnny lost the fire,
   C                  D
he said he'd get back into church,
        Em          C
there's really no excuse,

Johnny ran out of promises last night,
                     C                  D
they took his money, then they took his life,
C                 D
Johnny laid there praying,
   Em                          C
(spoken) Lord it's just me and you,
            Am                 C

but johnny ran out of time
