[Verse 1]
G Bm
Here come Johnny Kwango
C Em
He just sprung down off the ropes
C Bm
He won't look you in the eye
C
In case it gives you any hope
G Bm
Though he don't believe in cheating
C Em
If he has to he can maim
C Em
You won't see the bullet coming
C
'Til its lodged inside your brain
[Chorus 1]
Em C G
Let me fall into your arms
D Em
And take the fear away
Em C G
Can you read my upturn palms
D Em
Won't you tell me what they say?
Em C G
I don't want to cause alarm
D C
But if you push me I can't take it
[Solo]
G Bm C D Em C Bm C

[Verse 2]
G Bm
Yesterday in boredom
C Em
I was going through some files
C Bm
And I found photographs and letters
C
To some poor misguided child
G Bm
There was something 'bout the future
C Em
Which has now become the past
C Bm
And a promise i'd forgotten
C
And a dream that could not last
[Chorus 2]
Em C G
If you cut me will I bleed
D Em
And stain your shoulder pad
Em C G
If you don't give me what I need
D Em
I will probably go mad
Em C G
I'm an easy guy to please
D C
But if you push me I can't take it
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G Bm
Good old Johnny Kwango
C Em
See him fly across the ring
C
Into unsuspecting ogres doing disrespectful things
G Bm
You can see him as a hero
C Em
Or a metaphor for life
C Em
And you can imitate his moveents
C
But you'll never get them right
[Chorus 3]
Em C G
There are friends I used to know
G D Em
Who have all but disappeared
Em C G
As my stock was sinking low
G D Em
They have made their feelings clear
Em C G
You can't tell me where to go
G D C
But if you push I can't take it.
[Outro]
