E E Aadd9 Aadd9 E E Aadd9 Aadd9 E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through again Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 And my mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine E E Aadd9 Aadd9 You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain E E Aadd9 Aadd9 And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 Well, I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone, don’t you think I was too C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home E E Aadd9 Aadd9 I should've known E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Well, maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love, then take it away Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can" E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone, don’t you think I was too C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong, don’t you think 19's too C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 young to be played, by your dark, twisted games, when I loved you so? E E Aadd9 Aadd9 I should've known C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry, never impressed by me acing your tests C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes, ’cause you burned them out Badd4 C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 But I took your matches before fire could catch me, so don't look now Badd4 Aadd9 I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty E E Aadd9 Aadd9 town C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 Oh, oh E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone, don’t you think I was too C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home E E Aadd9 Aadd9 I see it all now that you're gone, don’t you think I was too C#m7 Badd4 Aadd9 Aadd9 young to be messed with? The girl in the dress wrote you a song E E Aadd9 Aadd9 You should've known, you should've known E E Aadd9 Aadd9 Don't you think I was too young? You should've known E
