Swear and Shake - Johnnie

      Capo 1:

VERSE
C
Johnnie all your hundred songs
F
learned them on the guitar
C
played them in the mirror
G
pretended they were mine
C
Johnnie what a knack for words
F
each one cuts me deeper
C
strong enough to make you near
G E7
when you're far away

CHORUS
Am     B/G    C
Johnnie is your suitcase tight?
F
you say goodbye to no one
C
leave a mess of paper
G E7
and make way for the coast
Am B/G C
Honey all your bridges burned
F
should you find your boots worn
C
I will patch your soles
G
if you swear you'll walk with me

VERSE
C
Johnnie, I could be your queen
F
No more nights of long dreams
C
You could be the stronger man
G
To sleeps between these sheets
C
But never with your lips sewn shut
F
I can only do so much
C
Won't lift a finger
G  E7
'Til you show me where it hurts

CHORUS
Am     B/G    C
Johnnie is your suitcase tight?
F
you say goodbye to no one
C
leave a mess of paper
G E7
and make way for the coast
Am B/G C
Honey all your bridges burned
F
should you find your boots worn
C
I will patch your soles
G
if you swear you'll walk with me
