[Verse]
                          E 
Long were the nights when my
                   E         
Days once revolved around you
            E        
Counting my footsteps
                                     A    
Prayin' the floor won't fall through again
Bsus4                Dbm7             
My mother accused me of losing my mind
A                     
But I swore I was fine
    E                  
You paint me a blue sky
                        A      
And go back and turn it to rain
E                             
And I lived in your chess game
                          A        
But you changed the rules every day
B                       Dbm7  
Wonderin' which version of you
            A                   
I might get on the phone tonight
B                        
Well I stopped pickin' up
    Dbm7                    A       
And this song is to let you know why


[Chorus]
E        
Dear John
                      A          
I see it all now that you're gone
                      Dbm                        
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               A
I should've known ■


[Verse]
E                 
Well maybe it's me
                      A       
And my blind optimism to blame
   E                               
Oh maybe its you and your sick need
                       A7 A   
To give love then take it away
B                         Dbm7                      
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
A                   
Who don't understand
         B                  
And I'll look back in regret
Dbm7                         B      A              
How I ignored when they said Run as fast as you can


[Chorus]
E        
Dear John
                      A          
I see it all now that you're gone
                      Dbm7      Dbm          B   
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
                      A               Amaj7   
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
E        
Dear John
                    A        
I see it all now it was wrong
                           Dbm7                      B                      
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games
       A           
When I loved you so
  E              
I should've known


[Bridge]
A     Dbm7                  
■ You are an expert at sorry
B                       
And keeping lines blurry
    A                                     
And never impressed by me acing your tests
    Dbm7                      
All the girls that you run dry
B                       
Have tired lifeless eyes
       A                  
'cause you burned them out


[Verse]
B                      
But I took your matches
Dbm7                      
Before fire could catch me
E  A             
So don't look now
B                A                   E              A
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town ■


[Chorus]
   Dbm7 B A B Dbm7 E 
Oh woah ■ ■ ■ ■    oh
         
Dear John
                      A          
I see it all now that you're gone
                           Dbm7            B          
Well don't you think I was too young to be messed with
                            A             E   
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
                      A          
I see all it now that you're gone
                      Dbm7                       
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
    B                 A               
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
    E               A
You should've known ■


[Outro]
E                            A         Amaj7
■ Well don't you think I was too young ■    
              A     E
You should've known ■
