• Capo on 2nd

Intro:

D G D G



D                           G
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
D                        G
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won’t fall through again
    A          D   A
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
G
But I swore I was fine

D                        G
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
    D
And I lived in your chess game
              G
But you changed the rules everyday
A              D      A     G
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
    A              D     A      G
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

D                 G
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
              Bm
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
A                G    (STOP)
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
      D
I should’ve known
G

D                   G
Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame
       D                         G
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away
    A            D      A       G
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
       A            D        A
And I’ll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
    G
Run as fast as you can

D                 G
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
             Bm
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
   A             G
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
   D               G
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
             Bm
Don’t you think 19’s too young to be played by
   A             G
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
       D
I should’ve known

D G

Bm
You are an expert at sorry
   A
And keeping lines blurry
G
Never impressed by me acing your tests
    Bm
All the girls that you’ve run dry
   A
Have tired, lifeless eyes
      G
Cause you burned them out
    A          D     A
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
  G
So don’t look now
   A
I’m shining like fireworks
G          D
Over your sad empty town
 G   Bm  A G

D                  G
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
             Bm
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
  A               G
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home D
               G
I see it all now that you’re gone
              Bm
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
  A            G
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
        D
You should’ve known
        G
You should’ve known.................(D)
              G
Don’t you think I was too young
        D
You should’ve known
