             G
His fate was sealed

Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire

He took her heart

You could see the trouble start
G                             F
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone

Listen, Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night
              G
As time stood still
G                                     F
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight
                 G
You could feel a chill
G                                   F
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands
             G
With nothing won
G                               F
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand, whoa!
