Roll The Credits Johnny

Roll the credits, Johnny
                       C
You up there in the projection booth
                  G
Our dream-time is over
                                     D
Time to put our shoes on and hit the street

C             G
But wasn't it beautiful?
                           C
Didn't we forget about the sad times for awhile?
              G
The good guys won
                                     D
The bad guys tasted bitterness and defeat

                      G
We kissed the leading ladies
                         C
Felt the warmth of their deep caress
                     G
Drank with kings and prophets
                            D
We rode rocket ships to the stars

                         G
But it's dark now on the streets of life
                           C
"Christ, I think I lost my pocket knife in there
                      G
Goddamn it, Johnny, I can't even remember where in hell
              D
We parked the car"

                      C
But singing keeps the fear away
                        G
And whistling keeps the wolves at bay
G
Remembering all we might have been
G
All the love that could have been
                       D
Let's storm the old ramparts
               C
Let's sing the love songs
         D             G       C  D  G
From old movies in our hearts

The way she held her hair back with her hand
                         C
Christ, I wish I was her leading man
                           G
She knows more than you'll ever know, talks to birds and animals
                      D
Why won't she talk to me?

                    G
Wish she could just step down off the screen
                     C
That little blond in tight black jeans
                      G
Christ, I'm losing my mind now, Johnny
                                        D
The crows are laughing at us, up in the trees

                      C
But singing keeps the fear away
                        G
And whistling keeps the wolves at bay
G
Remembering all we might have been
G
All the love that could have been
                       D
Let's storm the old ramparts
                 C
Let's sing those love songs
         D             G       C  D  G
From old movies in our hearts
               C
Let's sing old love songs
         D             G
From the movies in our hearts

C        G
Roll the credits, Johnny
     C        G
Hey, roll the credits, Johnny
C        G
Roll the credits, Johnny
