[E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
Long were the nights when my days once revolved [A] around you
[E] Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't [A] fall through again
And [B] my mother accused me [C#m] of losing [E] mine, but [A] I swore I was fine
[E] You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it [A] to rain
[E] And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules [A] every day
[B] Wondering which version [C#m] of you I [B] might get [A] on the phone tonight
[B] Well I stopped picking up, and [C#m] this [E] song is to let you [A] know why
[E] Dear John, I see it all now that [A] you're gone
Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be messed with?
[B] The girl in the dress [A] cried the whole way home
[E] I should've known,
[A]
[E] well maybe it's me and my blind optimism [A] to blame
Or [E] maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take [A] it away
[B] And you'll add my name to [C#] your long list of traitors [A] who don't
Understand
And I [B] look back in regret, how [C#m] I ignored [E] when they said [A] run as fast as you can
[E] Dear John, I see it all now that [A] you're gone
Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be messed with?
[E] The [B] girl in the dress [A] cried the whole way home
[E] Dear John, I see it all now that [A] was wrong
Don't you think [E] I [C#m] was too young to be played [B] by your dark twisted games when [A] I loved you so
[E] I should've known
[A] You [C#m] are an expert at starring [B] and [Em] keeping lives blurry
[A] Never impressed, finally acing your tests
[C#m] All the girls that you run dry [B] could try lifeless eyes cause [A] you burned them
But
[B] I took your matches [C#m] before [E] fire could catch me [A] so don't look
[E] Now [B] I'm shining like [A] fireworks over your sad [E] empty town
[A] Oh [C#m] [B]
[A]
[E] dear John, I see it all now that [A] you're gone
Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be messed [B] with?
The girl in the dress [A] cried the whole way home
[E] I see it all now [A] that you're gone
Don't you think I [C#m] was too young to be messed [B] with?
The girl in the dress [A] wrote you a song
[E] You should've known
You
[A] should've known
You should've known
[E] Don't you think I was [A] too young
[E] You should've
