(Either Johnny or his guitarist continues the two-note shuffle while the chords are):
[Verse 1]
B7 E
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
B7 E
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
A E
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
B7 E
Because you're mine, I walk the line
(Then walk up to A)

I find myself alone when each day is through

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you

As sure as night is dark and day is light
