A                             G
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named desire
              A
His fate was sealed
A                                G
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars
               A
It was no big deal
A                         G
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
                            A
Tito, he was king of the streets
A                                  G
And she was his possession like a jewel on his crown
 G
Johnny better run, better run

Chorus:
                  Bm                    G
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
           A                               Bm
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
                Bm                 G
When pride and love battle with desire
                  A                                 Bm
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
      Bm           G          A               Bm
Ah ah ah, hey hey hey, do do do, do do do do do
      Bm           G          A               Bm
Ah ah ah, hey hey hey, do do do, do do do do do

The ride was over but the story doesn't end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run

Chorus

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

Chorus
