A Bm G A X2
[Verse 1]
A Bm G A
Now lay me down on the warehouse ground.
A Bm G A
Later on, I don't go there now.
A Bm G A
On and on, I know what to say.
A Bm G A
She's never been taught but she knows the way.
[Pre-Chorus]
A D G A
I was kidding love, I was kidding.
A D G A
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.
A D G A
I was lying love, they were lying,
A D G A
when they said "If you love someone, let 'em go."
[Chorus]
F#m E D A
Dear John, I know we got along.
F#m E D A
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
F#m E D A
She will marry some self-made man.
F#m E
I still write songs,
A Bm G A
But I miss your daughter, John.
A Bm G A
I miss your daughter, John.
[Verse 2]
A Bm G A
Now there she lay, with her nose in place.
A Bm G A
Broken wrist, just the picture of grace.
A Bm G A
And on and on, what her father says,
A Bm G A
Well he's never been shown but he knows what it is.
[Pre-Chorus]
A D G A
I was kidding love, I was kidding.
A D G A
And you just weren't smart enough to know it.
A D G A
I was lying love, they were lying,
A D G A
When they said "If you love someone let 'em know."
[Bridge]
D Bm G A
Now, what if I stayed and did that thing for you?
D Bm F#m E D A
What if I stayed and did that thing that's always true.
A*
What's a man to do?
A Bm G A
[Chorus]
F#m E D A
Dear John, I know we got along.
F#m E D A
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
F#m E D A
She will marry some self-made man.
F#m E
I still write songs,
D A
But I miss your daughter John.
F#m E D A
Dear John, I know we got along.
F#m E D A
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
F#m E D A
She will marry some self-made man.
F#m E
I still write songs...
A Bm G A
But I miss your daughter John.
A Bm G A
I miss your daughter John
