...I remember her shoes like a... ballerina
Am                       C                            D
...A girl called Johnny who... changed her name when she
D                             Dm         Dm7
Discovered her choice was to change or to be changed

... I remember a girl called Johnny... black as hell and white as a ghost
D                                       Dm               Dm7
... Don't talk about life or death she said "I've had enough of both"

... They'd have torn her to pieces but who would dare?

And the truth is in somebody else's hands
