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

Don't you think I was [C#m] too young to be messed [B] with?
