[Opening]
[D] [C] [D] [G]
[D]Long were the nights when my days once revolved around [G]you.
[D]Counting my footsteps praying the floor won’t [G]fall through again.
And my [A]mother accused me of [D]losing [A]my mind.
[G]But I swore I was fine…
[verse 2]
[D]You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it [G]to rain.
And I [D]lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules [G]everyday.
[A]Wondering which version of [D]you I, might [A]get on the [G]phone.
[verse 3]
Tonight, well I [A]stopped picking up and,
Rhis [D]song is to [A]let you know [G]why.
[chorus]
Dear [D]John, I see it all now that you’re [G]gone.
Don’t you think I was too [Bm]young to be messed with.
[A]The girl in the dress cried the [G]whole way home.
I should’ve [D]known… [G]
[verse 4]
Well [D]maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to [G]blame.
Or maybe it’s [D]you and your sick need to give love then take it [G]away.
And you[A]’ll add my name to your [D]long, list of [A]traitors who [G]don’t understand.
And I’ll look [A]back and regret how I [D]ignored when they [A]said.
Run as [G]fast as you can…
[verse 5]
Dear [D]John, I see it all now that you’re [G]gone.
Don’t you think I was too [Bm]young to be messed with.
The [A]girl in the dress cried the [G]whole way home.
Dear [D]John, I see it all now it was [G]wrong.
Don’t you think 19’s too [Bm]young to be played by.
Your [A]dark twisted games when I [G]loved you so.
I should’ve [D]known…
[Closing]
[D] [G]
You are an [Bm]expert at sorry, and [A]keeping lines blurry.
[G]Never impressed by me acing your tests, all the [Bm]girls that you’ve run dry.
Have [A]tired, lifeless eyes, ’cause you [G]burned them out.
But I [A]took your matches be[D]fore fire [A]could catch me.
So [G]don’t look now, I’m [A]shining like fireworks.
[G]Over your sad empty [D]town.
[interlude]
[G] [Bm] [A] [G]
[chorus]
Dear [D]John, I see it all now that you’re [G]gone.
Don’t you think I was too [Bm]young to be messed with.
The [A]girl in the dress cried the [G]whole way home.
I see it all now that you’re [G]gone.
Don’t you think I was too [Bm]young to be messed with.
The [A]girl in the dress wrote [G]you a song.
You should’ve [D]known.
You should’ve [G]known. [D]
Don’t you think I was too [G]young.
You should’ve [D]known.
