Verse (same as first)
Johnny was only a lad
Johnny hates the scene
First he hit an old man
Then he hit and run Pauline
The record player spinning the best times
I never had
So why do my old records make me sad?

E5 C5
Cause they're so bad
G5 D5
And no one seems to understand
E5
The glory of guitar
C5
When out of tune
G5
The off timing
D5
The singers who can't sing
The beauty of flaw
