Key:
D G D G
D G Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
D G Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
A D A And my mother accused me of losing my mind
G But I swore I was fine
D G You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
D And I lived in your chess game
G But you changed the rules everyday
A D A G Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone Tonight
A D A G Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why [Chorus]
D G Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Bm Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
A G The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
D G I should've known [Verse]
D G Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Continues after the ad
D G Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
A D A G And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
A D A And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
G Run as fast as you can [Chorus]
D G Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Bm Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
A G The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
D G Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Bm Don't you think 19's too young to be played by
A G Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
D I should've known [Instrumental]
D G [Bridge]
Bm You are an expert at sorry
A And keeping lines blurry
G Never impressed by me acing your tests
Bm All the girls that you've run dry
A Have tired, lifeless eyes
G Cause you burned them out
A D A But I took your matches before fire could catch me
G So don't look now
A I'm shining like fireworks
G D Over your sad empty town [Instrumental]
G Bm A G [Chorus]
D G Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Bm Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
A G D The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
G I see it all now that you're gone
Bm Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
A G The girl in the dress wrote you a song
D You should've known
G D You should've known
G Don't you think I was too young
D You should've known
