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 [E] my mother accused me of losing my mind, 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 on [A] the phone tonight
Well [E] I stopped picking up, and 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] should've known
Well
[A]
[E] maybe it's me and my blind optimism [A] to blame
Or maybe [E] it's you and your sick need to give love and take [A] it away
[E] And you'll add my name to your long [C#] list of traitors [A] who [E] don't understand
[Am] And I [B] look back in regret, how [C#m] I ignorantly [G#m] [B] 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?
[B] The girl in the dress [A] cried the whole way home
[E] Dear John, I see it all now, it [A] was wrong
Don't you think [E]
[C#m] 19's too young to be played [E] by your dark, [B] twisted games
When [A] I loved you so
I [Em] should've [E] known
[A] You [C#m] are an expert at starring [B] and [Em] keeping lines blurry
[A] Never impressed by me acing your tests
[C#m] All the girls that you won dry, [B] the childlike, this ice
Cause [A] you burned them
But
[B] I took your matches [C#m] before a fire [E] could catch me
[A] So don't look now
[E]
[B] I'm shining like [A] fireworks over your sad, [E] empty desk
[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?
[B] The girl in the dress [A] cried 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 a song
[E] You should've known
[A] You should've known
[E] Don't you think I was [A] too young
You [E] should've known
