[G]
When Johnny got there, [C] it had no [G] return address
But he recognized it right away, and he didn't have [D] to guess
[G] When the postmark said Seattle, [C] just a thousand miles [G] away
And so he put it in [D] the drawer for [G] fourteen days
Every night he'd take that envelope, [C] hold it up to [G] the light
But he never tore it open to see [D] what lay inside
[G] Remembered how it hurt the night she [C] turned and [G] walked away
So he kept the letter [D] sealed for [G] fourteen days
Fourteen [C] days he'd lay unopened, fourteen [G] days he'd stayed unread
Fourteen nights he dreamed about her, and what used to [Em] be [D] their bed
Though [G] his heart and soul were aching, Johnny's [C] pride got [G] in the way
And he kept the [D] letter sealed for fourteen [G]
days
[A]
Then one night he couldn't stand [D] it, Johnny took it from the [A] [Bm] drawer
[A] He read the words she'd sent him, just two short weeks [E] before
[A] The tears fell hard as Johnny [D] read [E] [D] the words she had [A] to say
Boy, I'm coming [E] home to you in [A] fourteen days
Dear John, I know I hurt you, but [D] I pray that you'll forgive
[A] And if you won't take me back again, then I don't want to [E] live
[F#m] [E] If [A] you're there when I step off the plane, [D] then I'll be yours [A] always
I arrive at four [E] p.m. in [A] fourteen days
[B]
Johnny raced out to the airport [F#m] [E] on the chance that she might [B] wait
But the terminal was empty, and he knew he was [F#] too late
[B] He cursed himself for letting his [E] one true love slip [B] away
For a letter that [F#] he'd held for [B] fourteen days
[E] Fourteen days it laid unopened, [B] fourteen days it stayed unread
Fourteen nights he dreamed about her, and the good [A#m] [E] times that [F#] they had
[B] And Johnny knew he'd lost her, and [E] there was nothing left [B] to say
He tore up the note [F#] he'd held for [B] fourteen days
Now [G]
[C] the next day in Seattle, [F] the morning headline [C]
read
Another Jane Doe suicide, young girl [G] lying [Bm] dead
[C] Scrawled upon the crumbled [Gm] piece [F] of paper where [C] she lay
In [F]
