E Asus2
[Verse]E Asus2
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E Asus2
Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again
B C#m B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
Asus2
But I swore I was fine
E Asus2
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
E Asus2
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B C#m B Asus2
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
B C#m B Asus2
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why
[Chorus] E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
E Asus2
I shoulda known.
[Verse] E Asus2
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame.
E Asus2
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.
B C#m B
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
Asus2
Who don't understand.
B C#m B
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said
Asus2
"Run as fast as you can."
[Chorus] E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't 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 B
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games
A
When I loved you so?
E Asus2
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
'Cause you burned them out
B
But I took your matches
C#m B
Before fire could catch me
Asus2
So don't look now
B
I'm shining like fireworks
A E Asus2 C#m B A
Over your sad empty town
[Chorus] E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't 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 you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B Asus2
The girl in the dress wrote you a song.
[Outro] E
You shoulda known.
Asus2
You shoulda known.
E Asus2
Don't you think I was too young?
