Dear John Chords

INTRO

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won’t fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

CHORUS
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should’ve known     

VERSE
Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love and then take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
And I’ll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
Run as fast as you can

CHORUS
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think 19’s too young to be played by
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
I should’ve kknown

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you’ve run dry
Have tired, lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home   
I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should’ve known
You should’ve kknown                     
Don’t you think I was too young
You should’ve known

Dear John Lyrics

Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won’t fall through
Again

And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day

Wonderin’ which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped pickin’ up, and this song is to let you know why

Dear John
I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I should’ve known

Well, maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism
To blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need
To give love then take it away

And you’ll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don’t understand
And I look back in regret
How I ignored when they said
“Run as fast as you can.”

Dear John
I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home

Dear John
I see it all now. It was wrong
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young to be played
By your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so
I should’ve known

You are an expert at “Sorry”
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you’ve run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes
‘Cause you’ve burned them out

But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So, don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

Dear John
I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Wrote you a song
You should’ve known

You should’ve known
Don’t you think I was too young?
You should’ve known
