[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
[E]
[B] And my mother accused [C#] me 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
[E] [E] Then I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules [A] every day
[E]
[B] Wondering which version [C#m] of you I [B] might get [A] on the phone tonight
[E]
[B] Well I stopped picking up, and [C#] this song is [E] to 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,
[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
And [B] you'll add my name to [C#m] your long list [B] of traitors [A] who [E] don't understand
And I [B] look back in regret, how [C#m] I ignored and [B] 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?
[B] The 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 19's [C#m] too young to be played by [B] your dark, twisted games when [A] I do so
I [E] should've known you
[A]
[C#m] are an expert at sorry [B] and keeping lives blurry
[A] But never press find me, ace in your test
All [C#m] the girls that you won't drive [B] have tired lifeless eyes cause [A] you burned them
[B] But I took your matches
[C#m] before fire [B] could catch me [E] so don't look now
[B] I'm shining like [A] fireworks over your sad [E] empty town
[A]
[C#m] Dear

[B] The girl in the dress [A] wrote you a song
You [E] should've known, you [A] should've [E] known
Don't you think I was too young
I just figure [A] that if guys don't want me [E] to write bad songs about them, then they shouldn't do bad things
