Intro: E A x2

E                                                      A
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E                                                   A
Counting my footsteps, prayinʼ the floor wonʼt fall through, again
B                       C#m       B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
      A
But I swore I was fine
 
E                                                  A
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
      E                                                        A
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B                          C#m         B          A
Wonderinʼ which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
 
       B                           C#m        B            A
Well I stopped pickinʼ up and this song is to let you know why

Chorus:
         E                                  A
    Dear John, I see it all now that youʼre gone.
                              C#m
    Donʼt you think I was too young to be messed with?
        B                           A
    The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
              E      A
    I shoulda known.

     E                                      A
Well maybe itʼs me and my blind optimism to blame.
           E                                                A
Maybe itʼs you and your sick need to give love then take it away.
    B                          C#m          B
And youʼll add my name to your long list of traitors
    A
Who donʼt understand.
 
              B                    C#m               B
And Iʼll look back in regret how I ignored when they said
        A
«Run as fast as you can»

Chorus:
         E                                  A
    Dear John, I see it all now that youʼre gone.
                              C#m
    Donʼt you think I was too young to be messed with?
        B                           A
    The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
     
         E                             A
    Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.
                                   C#m
    Donʼt you think nineteenʼs too young to be played
            B
    By your dark twisted games
           A
    When I loved you so?
              E     A
    I shoulda known.

Bridge:
               C#m
    You are an expert at sorry
        B
    And keeping lines blurry
        A
    And never impressed by me acing your tests
            C#m
    All the girls that you run dry
         B
    Have tired lifeless eyes
               A
    ʼCause you burned them out
        B
    But I took your matches
      C#m             B
    Before fire could catch me
       A
    So donʼt look now
        B
    Iʼm shining like fireworks
    A                   E    A C#m B A
    Over your sad empty town

Chorus:
         E                                  A
    Dear John, I see it all now that youʼre gone.
                              C#m
    Donʼt you think I was too young to be messed with?
        B                           A
    The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
     
    E                            A
    I see it all now that youʼre gone.
                              C#m
    Donʼt you think I was too young to be messed with?
        B                       A
    The girl in the dress wrote you a song.

Outro:
                E
    You shoulda known.
                A
    You shoulda known.
    E                         A
    Donʼt you think I was too young?
                      E
    You shoulda known.
