[Start] [Intro] E A E A E ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] A Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you E A Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again B C#m7 A And my mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine E A You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain E Emaj7 A And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day B C#m7 A Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight B C#m7 A Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why [Chorus] E A Dear John I see it all now that you're gone C#m7 Don't you think I was too young to be messed with B A The girl in the dress cried the whole way home E I should've known [Inst] A E A Well ■ maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame [Verse] E A Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away B C#m7 A And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand B C#m7 And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said B A Run as fast as you can [Chorus] E A Dear John I see it all now that you're gone C#m7 Don't you think I was too young to be messed with B A E The girl in the dress cried the whole way home [Bridge] A Dear John I see it all now it was wrong C#m Don't you think nineteen's too young C#m7 B A To be played by your dark twisted games when I loved you so E I should've known [Solo] [Bridge] A C#m7 B ■ You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry A Never impressed by me acing your tests C#m7 B All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes A 'cause you burned them out [Verse] B C#m7 But I took your matches before fire could catch me A So don't look now B A E I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town [Chorus] A C#m7 B A Oh ■ oh ■ E A Dear John I see it all now that you're gone C#m7 Don't you think I was too young to be messed with B Bsus4 A E The girl in the dress cried the whole ■ way home A I see it all now that you're gone C#m7 Don't you think I was too young to be messed with C#m B A The girl in the dress wrote you a song [Outro] E You should've known A You should've known E A ■ Don't you think I was too young E You should've known
