==
[D] Long were the nights when my days once revolved around [G] you
[D] Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fal[G] l through again
And my m[A] other accused me of l[D] osing m[A] y mind
[G] But I swore I was fine
[D] You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it t[G] o rain
And I li[D] ved in your chess game
But you changed the rules ev[G] eryday
[A] Wondering which version of y[D] ou I might g[A] et on the p[G] hone
Tonight
Well I s[A] topped picking up and this so[D] ng is to le[A] t you know wh[G] y
Chorus
Dear J[D] ohn, I see it all now that you're [G] gone
Don't you think I was too y[Bm] oung to be messed with
[A] The girl in the dress cried the w[G] hole way home
I should've [D] known [G]
Verse
Well m[D] aybe it's me and my blind optimism to [G] blame
Or maybe it's [D] you and your
sick need to give love then take it a[G] way
And you[A] 'll add my name to your l[D] ong
list of t[A] raitors who don[G] 't understand
And I'll look [A] back and regret how I ig[D] nored when they s[A] aid
Run as f[G] ast as you can
Chorus
Dear J[D] ohn, I see it all now that you're [G] gone
Don't you think I was too [Bm] young to be messed with
The gi[A] rl in the dress cried the w[G] hole way home
Dear J[D] ohn, I see it all now it was w[G] rong
Don't you think 19's too y[Bm] oung to be played by
Your d[A] ark twisted games when I l[G] oved you so
I should've k[D] nown
Instrumental
[D] [G]
Bridge
You are an [Bm] expert at sorry
And k[A] eeping lines blurry
[G] Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the [Bm] girls that you've run dry
Have t[A] ired, lifeless eyes
Cause you b[G] urned them out
But I t[A] ook your matches befo[D] re fire co[A] uld catch me
So d[G] on't look now
I'm s[A] hining like fireworks
[G] Over your sad empty t[D] own

Chorus
Dear Jo[D] hn, I see it all now that you're gon[G] e
Don't you think I was too [Bm] young to be messed with
The [A] girl in the dress cried the wh[G] ole way home [D]
I see it all now that you're g[G] one
Don't you think I was too y[Bm] oung to be messed with
The [A] girl in the dress wrote y[G] ou a song
You should've k[D] nown
You should've k[G] nown [D]
Don't you think I was too y[G] oung
You should've k[D] nown
