Biography:
New Order is a new wave/synthpop band which formed in 1980 in Salford, England, United Kingdom by the three remaining members of Joy Division. The band's classic lineup consists of Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Peter Hook (bass, electronic percussion), Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitar) and Stephen Morris (drums, keyboards). The group effectively disbanded in 1993 but reformed in 1998. Gilbert left in 2001 to look after her and Morris' children and was replaced by guitarist/keyboardist Phil Cunningham.

[INTRO]
Ab Eb x4
[VERSE 1]
Cm
It was January, 1963
Gm
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
Cm
He said I bought it for you because I love you
Gm
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too
Cm
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
Gm Cm
To think of me at this point in time
Gm
I used to think of him, he used think of me
[PRE-CHORUS]
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes
G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God
[CHORUS]
Cm Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
Cm Ab
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Cm Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
Can I save my life at any price?
Cm Ab
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
[INTERLUDE]
Ab Eb x2
[VERSE 2]
Cm
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Gm
Johnny came home with another wife
Cm
And he often remembered how it used to be
Gm
Before that special occasion, 1963
Cm
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Gm Cm
Like in a love affair, when the love is gone
Gm
He used to think of her, she used to think of me
[PRE-CHORUS]
Cm
He told me to close my eyes
Gm
My gift would be a great surprise
Cm
I saw tears were in his eyes
G
He never meant to hurt me, oh, God
[CHORUS]
Cm Fm
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed
Cm Ab
But please, I beg, don't do this to me

Johnny, you keep on using me
Gm
Can I change my life for any price?
Cm Ab
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Gm
There's so many ways our lives have changed

Can I change my life for any price?
Cm Ab
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
Cm
I just want you to be mine,
Fm
I don't want this world to shine
Gm
I don't want this bridge to burn
Cm
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
Ab Eb
I just want to feel for you
[CODA]
Ab Eb
I will always feel for you...
