🎶 Dear John

Capo: 2nd fret
Intro
[Cb] [Db] [Cb] [Db]
==
[Cb]Long were the nights when my days once revolved around [Db]you
[Cb]Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fal[Db]l through again
And my m[Bbm]other accused me of l[Cb]osing m[Bbm]y mind
[Db]But I swore I was fine

[Cb]You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it t[Db]o rain
And I li[Cb]ved in your chess game
But you changed the rules ev[Db]eryday
[Bbm]Wondering which version of y[Cb]ou I might g[Bbm]et on the p[Db]hone

Tonight
Well I s[Bbm]topped picking up and this so[Cb]ng is to le[Bbm]t you know wh[Db]y

Chorus
Dear J[Cb]ohn, I see it all now that you're [Db]gone
Don't you think I was too y[A#m]oung to be messed with
[Bbm]The girl in the dress cried the w[Db]hole way home
I should've [Cb]known [Db]

Verse
Well m[Cb]aybe it's me and my blind optimism to [Db]blame
Or maybe it's [Cb]you and your
sick need to give love then take it a[Db]way
And you[Bbm]'ll add my name to your l[Cb]ong
list of t[Bbm]raitors who don[Db]'t understand
And I'll look [Bbm]back and regret how I ig[Cb]nored when they s[Bbm]aid
Run as f[Db]ast as you can

Chorus
Dear J[Cb]ohn, I see it all now that you're [Db]gone
Don't you think I was too [A#m]young to be messed with
The gi[Bbm]rl in the dress cried the w[Db]hole way home
Dear J[Cb]ohn, I see it all now it was w[Db]rong
Don't you think 19's too y[A#m]oung to be played by
Your d[Bbm]ark twisted games when I l[Db]oved you so
I should've k[Cb]nown

Instrumental
[Cb] [Db]
Bridge
You are an [A#m]expert at sorry
And k[Bbm]eeping lines blurry
[Db]Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the [A#m]girls that you've run dry
Have t[Bbm]ired, lifeless eyes
Cause you b[Db]urned them out
But I t[Bbm]ook your matches befo[Cb]re fire co[Bbm]uld catch me
So d[Db]on't look now
I'm s[Bbm]hining like fireworks
[Db]Over your sad empty t[Cb]own

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