Dear John (Taylor's Version) chords
Start Jamming...
[E]
[A]
[E] Long were the nights when my face once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't [A] fall through again
And [B] my mother accused me [C#m] of losing my [B] mind, but [A] I swore I was fine
[E] You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it [A] to rain
And
[E]
I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules [A] every [E] day
[B] Wondering which version [C#m] of you I might get on [A] the phone
Tonight, [E] will [B] I stop picking up, and [C#] this song is to [E] let you [A] know why
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?
[B] The girl in the dress cried [E] the whole way [A] home
I [E] should've known, 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 [B] traitors [A] who don't
[E] understand
And I [B] look back and regret [C#] how I ignored when they [B] said run [A] as fast as you can
Dear [E] John, I see it all now that 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
Dear [E] John, I see it all now, it [A] was wrong
Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be played by [B] your dark, twisted games when [A] I loved you
So, I [E] should've known
[A] You [C#m] are an expert at sorry, [B] you keep it a lot blurry
[A] Never [E] impressed by me, ain't taking your tests
[C#m] All the girls that you've run dry, [B] I've tried life's advice
Cause [E] you [A] burned them [E] out
[B] Your eyes and your matches, [C#m] before fire could [B] catch me
[A] So [E] don't look now
[B] I'm shining like [A] fireworks over your sad, [E] empty town
[A]

[E] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
[F#] 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]
see it all now that you're gone
[A] Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be messed with?
[B] The girl in the dress [A] wrote you a song
You [E] should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young
[A] You [F#] should've known
[E]
