[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
[B] My mother accused me [C#m] of losing [B] mine, but [A] I swore I was fine
[E] You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it [A] to rain
You and [E] 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
[B] Well I stopped picking up, and [C#m] this song is [B] 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?
The [B] girl in the dress cried [A] the whole way home
I [E] should've known
[A]
[E] Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism [A] to blame
Or maybe [E] it's you and your sick need to give love then take [A] it away
And [B] you'll add my name to [C#m] your long list [B] of traitors [A] who don't understand
And I [B] look back in regret how [C#m] I ignored [E] when they said run [A] as fast as you can
Dear [E] 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 it [A] was wrong
Don't you think [C#m] 19's too young to be played by [B] your dark, twisted games when [A] I loved you so
I [E] should've known
You
[A]
are [C#m] an expert at sorry [B] and keeping lies dirty
[A] But never impressed by me acing your tests
All [C#m] the girls that you won't drive [B] have tired lifeless eyes cause [A] you've burned them out
[B] But I took your matches
[C#m] before fire [B] could catch me [A] so don't look 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 with?
The [B] 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 [E] with?
The [B] girl in the dress [A] wrote you a song
You [E] should've known
You [A] should've known
[E]
Don't you think I was [A] too young?
You should've known
