Taylor Swift – Dear John (Taylor’s Version)

|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     |
