|Amaj9 |

Long were the nights when my

|E |

days once revolved around

|Aadd9 |

you-

|Aadd9 |

||E |

Counting my footsteps,

|E |

praying the floor won’t

|Aadd9 |

fall through a-

|Aadd9 |

gain, and my-

||B |

mother accused me of

|C#m7

losing my

B |

mind, but I

|Aadd9 |

swore I was

|Aadd9 |

fine, you-

||E |

paint me a blue sky and

|E |

go back and turn it to

|Aadd9 |

rain,

|Aadd9 |

and I-

||E |

lived in your chess game, but

|E |

you changed the rules every

|Aadd9 |

day-

|Aadd9 |

||B |

Wondering which version of

|C#m7

you I might

B |

get on the

|Aadd9 |

phone to-

|Aadd9 |

night, well, I-

||B |

stopped picking up, and this

|C#m7

song is to

B |

let you

|Aadd9 |

know why,

|Aadd9 |

dear-

||E |

John, I

|E |

see it all now that you’re

|Aadd9 |

gone,

|Aadd9 |

don’t you think I was too-

||C#m7 |

young to be messed with? The

|B |

girl in the dress cried the

|Aadd9 |

whole way

|Aadd9 |

home, I should’ve-

||E |

known,

|E |

|Aadd9 |

|Aadd9 |

well-

||E |

Maybe it’s me and my

|E |

blind optimism to

|Aadd9 |

blame,

|Aadd9 |

or maybe it’s-

||E |

you and your sick need to

|E |

give love, then take it a-

|Aadd9 |

way,

|Aadd9 |

and-

||B |

you’ll add my name to your

|C#m7

long list of

B |

traitors who

|Aadd9 |

don’t under-

|Aadd9 |

stand, and I’ll look-

||B |

back and regret how I ig-

|C#m7

nored when they

B |

said, “Run as

|Aadd9 |

fast as you

|Aadd9 |

can,” dear-

||E |

John, I

|E |

see it all now that you’re

|Aadd9 |

gone,

|Aadd9 |

don’t you think I was too-

||C#m7 |

young to be messed with? The

|B |

girl in the dress cried the

|Aadd9 |

whole way

|Aadd9 |

home, dear-

||E |

John, I

|E |

see it all now, it was

|Aadd9 |

wrong,

|Aadd9 |

don’t you think 19’s too-

||C#m7 |

young to be played, by your

|B |

dark, twisted games, when I

|Aadd9 |

loved you

|Aadd9 |

so? I should’ve-

||E |

known,

|E |

|Aadd9 |

|Aadd9 |

you are an-

||C#m7 |

expert at sorry and

|B |

keeping lines blurry,

|Aadd9 |

never impressed by me

|Aadd9 |

acing your tests, all the-

||C#m7 |

girls that you’ve run dry have

|B |

tired, lifeless eyes, ’cause you

|Aadd9 |

burned them

|Aadd9 |

out, but-

||B |

I took your matches be-

|C#m7

fore fire could

B |

catch me, so

|Aadd9 |

don’t look

|Aadd9 |

now, I’m-

||B |

shining like fireworks

|Aadd9 |

over your sad, empty-

||E |

town-

|E |

|Aadd9 |

|Aadd9 |

||C#m7 |

Oh,

|B |

oh,

|Aadd9 |

|Aadd9 |

dear-

||E |

John, I

|E |

see it all now that you’re

|Aadd9 |

gone,

|Aadd9 |

don’t you think I was too-

||C#m7 |

young to be messed with? The

|B |

girl in the dress cried the

|Aadd9 |

whole way

|Aadd9 |

home-

||E |

I

|E |

see it all now that you’re

|Aadd9 |

gone,

|Aadd9 |

don’t you think I was too-

||C#m7 |

young to be messed with? The

|B |

girl in the dress wrote

|Aadd9 |

you a

|Aadd9 |

song, you should’ve-

||E |

known,

|E |

you should’ve

|Aadd9 |

known-

|Aadd9 |

||E |

|E |

Don’t you think I was too

|Aadd9 |

young?

|Aadd9 |

You should’ve known-

||E |
