(capo 2nd fret)

verse:
G______________C______G
Hi I'm Johnny and I loved my life
______C________G_________D____G
With my best friend Mark and my future wife
G_____________________C____G__
I bought her flowers from the flower store
________C_____G_____D_____G
They said I'm their favorite customer (Hi doggie)
C_____________Em_____D
We got wasted on vodka and scotch
C_________________________Em___D
And made love while the neighbor Denny watched
C__________________Em______D
I gave her a red dress, I gave her my heart
C_____________Em__ D___G _ C _ G
What'd she do but tear me apart

chorus:
_______________Bm__G
You're tearing me apart, Lisa
_______________C________G
You're tearing me apart, whoa yeah
________C____G_______C_____G____D
You're my future wife and I'd give my life to please ya

Oh, Lisa

instrumental break: G_ C G C G D_ (x2)

Up on the roof I said, Oh, hi, Mark
Don't know why I've been feeling so in the dark
Let's throw the football and have a chat
Denny's selling drugs, but don't worry about that
I didn't hit her, it's just not true
But then I'm not an expert on women, like you
Sometimes they're stupid, sometimes they're smart
Most of the time they tear you apart

She's tearing me apart, Lisa
She's tearing me apart, whoa yeah
You're my best friend, Mark, tell me where you are
When I need ya
Oh, Lisa!

bridge:
Em____________________A7
I know more than you think I know
_______________________C
Put a tape recorder under the phone
_________A7
(Why, Lisa, why?)
________________________Em
And I heard all of the things you said
_______________________________ A7
What happened on the stairs and in my bed
_______________________C
You'll both be sorry when I'm dead
______________________D
You'll all be sorry when I'm dead

Anyway, how's your sex life?


OK, all right, you got me
My name isn't Johnny, it's actually Tommy
I'm just a sensitive man with a story to tell
Made it into a film, thought it went pretty well (It's called The Room)
It wasn't easy, it wasn't fun
And I lost a lot of friends before it was done
But when I showed the world my work of art
What'd they do but tear me apart

They're tearing me apart, Lisa
Tearing me apart, whoa yeah
___________Am_____________Em__________D
You know you bare your soul, and this is how they treat ya
They're tearing me apart, Lisa
They're tearing me apart, whoa yeah
You're my future wife and I'd give my life to please ya
Oh, Lisa!
