Re[Bb]member one Christmas 
I gave you Jim Carroll
In[Bb/Ab]tended it as 
a cautionary tale
Yo[Gm7]u said you saw 
yourself inside there
D[Fsus4]og-eared it 
like a how-to manual

Re[Bb]member one summer 
we walked in Times Square
I [Bb/Ab]showed you the 
zombies with hundred-inch stares
Y[Gm7]ou took a Bic, 
set your hotel on fire
W[Fsus4]e took the blame, 
took the bags to the train

Happy [Ebmaj7]Birthday, Johnny[F]
Wher[Gbdim7]ever you a[Gm]re[Dm]
Happy B[Ebmaj7]irthday, Johnny[F]
Wherever you a[Bb]re

The [Bb]last time you 
called it was on New Years' Eve
You [Bb/Ab]asked me for 
dough to get somethin' to eat
Si[Gm7]nce we last spoke, 
you live on the street
Yeah, I [Fsus4]wouldn't believe 
all the shit that you seen

Happy N[Ebmaj7]ew Year, Johnny[F]
Is [Gbdim7]it    2[Gm]3?[Dm]
Happy N[Ebmaj7]ew Year, Johnny[F]
Are the lights on the tr[Bb]ees?

[Bb][Bb/Ab][Gm7][Fsus4][Gbdim7]
[Gm][Bb/Ab][Gm7][Fsus4]

When I [Bb]said, Let me think, 
and you yelled through your teeth
Ac[Bb/Ab]cused me of actin' like all royalty
A[Gm7]lways for show, no true charity
You s[Fsus4]aw me on magazines and TV

But if [Bb]they only knew 
the real version of me
Only [Bb/Ab]you know the secrets, 
the swamp, and the fear
What h[Gm7]appened to blood, our family?
A[Fsus4]nnie, how could you do this to me?

[Ebmaj7][F]Of [Gbdim7]course, I blame [Gm]me[Dm]
When you g[Ebmaj7]et free, Johnny[F]
[Bb]

I hope you find peace
