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 # pause
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
      D     G
I should've known

   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    D  G
I should've known

      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    G   Bm  A G
Over your sad empty town

    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       D
You should've known
              G
Don't you think I was too young
        D
You should've known
