(intro 2x) E Asus2 

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 

     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. 

     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." 

     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. 

           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 

     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. 

            E 
You shoulda known. 
            Asus2 
You shoulda known. 
E                              Asus2 
     Don't you think I was too young? 
                   E 
You shoulda known.
