VERSE
      Am  C   G       C 
Dear Joan,      I've almost 
        Am     C  G(2)
forgotten,
                 Am      C   G   
the pain in the window,         
     C             Am     C   G(2)
blue dress in the doorway
      Am  C  G   C        Am    
dear joan,      help me 
 C  G(2)             Am   C  G
remember,      the face I forget
         C               Am      
and the traps that I've sprung
C    G(2)


   C                Bm         Am
I guess I've grown tired it's 
              G       F
just what's expected of me
                              G
to tear your heart from the inside 
to the outside
      C         Bm       
you know I was wired, I just 
Am            G
couldn't help it
     F                 G
the hundred thousand times I hurt 
you

CHORUS
      C        Bm       Am
dear joan, I wanted to say
          G              F
that I'm sorry for the screaming 
last night
         G
and the nights before
           C      Bm        Am    G
well I've wanted more from this
      F                   G
than anything I've ever known

dear joan

Am, C, G, C,
Am, C, G(2)


VERSE
      Am  C  G
dear joan
      C          Am        C   
your face has a brightness     
G(2)               Am    C   G
  that I've never seen
        C               Am        
in the years that I've known you
C   G(2)

      Am   C   G
dear joan
   C           Am    C   G(2)   
I pick up the pieces,       but 
                    Am  C  G
some scattered too far
              C          Am       
you see they flew and I kicked 
   C  G(2)
them

   C          Bm            Am   
I know you believed when I said 
       G
it was over
     F                      G
you stood by me patiently waiting 
and brooding
    C         Bm         Am    G
so deeply in love with every 
              F     G
face that I've shown


(CHORUS)


BRIDGE
Am      G       F           G
once I forget, twice I'm a fool,
       Am         G          F    
three times I've wrapped my hands 
 G            Am   C  G  C
around your neck
              Am       C  G(2)
while you're sleepin',
                 Am      C  
you're quietly sleepin',       
G   C            Am       C  G(2)
sleepin' and dreamin'
      Am   C  G
dear joan
       C             Am     C   G(2)
don't walk out that doorway
                Am  C
because if you did
   G               C        Am   
I believe I could honestly kill 
    C  G(2)
you

(Chorus X2, end on Am with your 
pinky on the 3rd fret, bottom 
string)
