Verse 1
C           Cmaj7                C            Cmaj7
 Hey, if I could I'd sit you down buy you a drink and ask you how
F
 You got a cowboy ridin' to slow on down and walk the line and
C           Cmaj7                 C          Cmaj7
 I'd wanna hear it from the start, how many times did he break your heart?
F
 From what I'm readin', why didn't you leave him


Chorus
         C                 Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 C7sus2                           F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
      F
What made you wanna make it work?
        C                 Cmaj7         C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
           F
Did your friends call you crazy too?
      F                                  C       Cmaj7    C7sus2    F
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?


Verse 2
 C                 Cmaj7            C             Cmaj7
Did you know deep down inside your bones he'd be yours and yours alone?
F
 Or were you just hoping? And how did you keep hoping?
    C               Cmaj7       C                  Cmaj7
I think I've got a Johnny of my own, but will he change? Hell if I know
F
 Yes, I'm just hoping, but how do I keep hoping


Chorus
         C                 Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 C7sus2                           F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
      F
What made you wanna make it work?
        C                 Cmaj7         C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
           F
Did your friends call you crazy too?
      F                                  C        Cmaj7    C7sus2    F
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?


Bridge
     C               Cmaj7
Why Johnny? And how June
         C7sus2                         F
Did you make him realize it was always you?
                    F
Did you ever wanna find somebody new?


Chorus
         C                 Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 C7sus2                           F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
      F
What made you wanna make it work?
        C                 Cmaj7         C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
           F
Did your friends call you crazy too? Bet you could've had anyone you wanted to
                    C        Cmaj7    C7sus2    F
So, hey, June, why Johnny?
