Dear Joan
     F            Dm    F    C
I've almost forgotten
F           Dm     F   C
Pane in the window
     F            Dm       F   C
Blue dress in the doorway

     Dm   F  C
Dear Joan
F         Dm     F  C
Help me remember
    F         Dm  F  C
The face I forget
        F               Dm       F  C
And the traps that I've sprung

  F                F/E
I guess I've grown tired
     Dm          Dm/C
It's just what's expected of me
Bb                          C
To tear your heart from the inside

To the outside
    F          F/E
You know I was wired
  Dm            Dm/C
I just couldn't help it
    Bb               C
The hundred thousand times i hurt you

     F
Dear Joan
  F/E       Dm
I wanted to say
         Dm/C            Bb
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
        C
And the nights before
          F      F/E       Dm    Dm/C
Well I've wanted more from this
     Bb                 C
Than anything I've ever known

Dear Joan
     F          Dm        F   C
Your face has a brightness
     F          Dm    F   C
That I've never seen
       F               Dm        F  C
In the years that I've known you

     Dm   F  C
Dear Joan
  F           Dm       F  C
I pick up the peices
     F            Dm    F   C
Some scattered too far
         F           Dm      F     C
See they flew when I kicked them

  F          F/E
I know you believed
       Dm          Dm/C
When I said it was over
    Bb
You stood by me patiently
C
Waiting and brooding
   F         F/E
So deeply in love
     Dm    Dm/C           Bb    C
With every face that I've shown

Once I forget
Bb          C
Twice I'm a fool
      Dm      C
Three times I wrap
   Bb     C          Dm    F  C   F
My hands around your neck
             Dm       F   C
While you're sleeping
       F       Dm        F   C
You're quietly sleeping
F            Dm        F  C
Sleeping and dreaming

     Dm   F  C
Dear Joan
      F            Dm      F  C
Don't walk out the doorway
  F            Dm   F  C
Because if you did
                  F        Dm       F    C
I believe I could honestly kill you
