Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you D
G
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again A
D
A
And my mother accused me of losing my mind G
But I swore I was fine D
G
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain D
And I lived in your chess game G
But you changed the rules everyday A
D
A
G
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone Tonight A
D
A
G
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why
D
G
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Bm
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
A
G
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
D
G
I should've known
D
G
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
D
G
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
A
D
A
G
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
A
D

And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
G
Run as fast as you can

Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Bm
Don't you think 19's too young to be played by
A
G
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
D
I should've known
D
G
Bm
You are an expert at sorry
A
And keeping lines blurry
G
Never impressed by me acing your tests
Bm
All the girls that you've run dry
A
Have tired, lifeless eyes
G
Cause you burned them out
A
D
A
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
G
So don't look now
A
I'm shining like fireworks
G
D
Over your sad empty town
