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
[B] My mother accused me [C#] of losing [E] my mind but [A] I swore
I was fine
[E] You paint me a blue sky and 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 on [A] the phone tonight
Well [B] I stopped picking up and [E] this 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 cried [A] the whole way home
I [E] shouldn't moan
[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 it [A] away
And
[B] you'll add my name to [C#] your long list of traitors [A] who don't
[E]
Understand
[A] And I [B] look back in regret how [C#m] I ignored when [E] they said run [A] 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?
The [B] girl in the dress cried [A] the whole way home
[E] Dear John, I see it all now that [A] was wrong
Don't you think I [E] was [C#m] too young to be played by [B] your dark twisted games when [A] I loved you so?
I [E] shouldn't moan
You
[A]
are [C#m] an expert at sorry [B] and [Em] keeping lives blurry
[A] Never impressed by the acing your tests
All [C#m] the girls that you won, drive [B] like your size cause [A] you burned them out
[B] But I took your [C#m] matches before fire [B] could [E] catch me
[A] So don't look now
[E]
[B] I'm shining like [A] fireworks over your sad [E] empty town
[A]
Oh
[C#m] I
[B]
[A]
[E]
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 cried [A] the whole way home
[E]
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] wrote you that song
You [E] should've known
You [A] should've known
[E]
Don't you think I was [A] too young?
You [E] should've known
