♫ Intro:


E A E A


♫ Verse:

E                           A
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E                          A
Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again
B            C#m    B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
   A
But I swore I was fine

E                         A
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
   E                            A
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B             C#m     B     A
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
    B              C#m    B      A
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why


♫ Chorus:

   E                 A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
             C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
  B              A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
   E               A
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.
                C#m            B
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games
    A
When I loved you so?
     E   A
I shoulda known.

G D Am C

G        D         Am   C
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
G           D               Am  C
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
 G         D           Am   C
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
   G           D          Am  C
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait


♫ Chorus:

  G   D        Am     C
We had, a beautiful, magic love there
    G  D         Am  G  C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love a---ffair


♫ Bridge:

        C#m
But you are an expert at sorry
  B
And keeping lines blurry
  A
And never impressed by me acing your tests
    C#m
All the girls that you run dry
   B
Have tired lifeless eyes
      A
'Cause you burned them out
  B
But I took your matches
 C#m       B
Before fire could catch me
  A
So don't look now
  B
I'm shining like fireworks
A          E   A
Over your sad empty town
C#m  B  A
Oh  woah  oh


♫ Chorus:

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