A                       D
Johnny`s got high expectations  
                A       D
He`s gonna rise  
A                       D
Everyone knows that Johnny is ready  
                A       D
He`s ready to fly  
F#m                     E       D
Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd  
F#m
No one is waiting  
                E
No one is there  

[Chorus]
A                               D
Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away  
A                             D
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide  
A                                       D
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts  
A                                       D
And some of us find a world that`s clear and bright  
Bm                              E
You could be packed up and ready  
Bm                      E
Knowing exactly where to go  
Bm                              E
How come you miss the connection?  
F#m                     E               F#m7
No use in asking...the answer is nobody knows  
D                       E               A
No use in asking...the answer is nobody knows  

[Verse]
A                       D
Johnny will keep his illusions  
                A               D
What else can he do?  
A                                       D
And you can pretend that it would be different  
        A               D
If it happened to you  
F#m                             E       D
But up on the rooftop, it`s a whole other world  
F#m
And who could see heaven  
                E
And not want to stay?  

[Chorus]
A                               D
Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away  
A                             D
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide  
A                                       D
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts  
A                                       D
And some of us find a world that`s clear and bright  
Bm                              E
You could be packed up and ready  
Bm                      E
Knowing exactly where to go  
Bm                              E
How come you miss the connection?  
F#m                     E               F#m7
No use in asking...the answer is nobody knows  
D                       E               A
No use in asking...the answer is nobody knows
