Capo 2

[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

[Chorus]

         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 should've known

[Verse]

          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

[Chorus]

         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

[Instrumental]

D G

[Bridge]

                   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

[Instrumental]

G Bm A G

[Chorus]

          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                       D
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
                                          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
