Dear John

Text File

Hey all :) This is my first tab and I'm pretty sure it sounds okay. It's really 
simple so I hope you'll enjoy playing this because I did.

Standard Tuning EADGBE

Capo 4

C   F   C   F
 

C                                                       F          F
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
   C                                                    F     Fmaj7
Counting the footsteps, praying the floor wont fall through. Again.
Am                            G
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
        F
But I swore I was fine

C
You paint me a blue sky
                             F             F
And go back and turn it to rain
        C                                                   F         F
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday
   Am                        G                      F      Fmaj7
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone. Tonight.
          Am                         G                      F
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why.


Chorus


       C                                F
Dear john I see it all now that you're gone
                            Am
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
     G                            F       Fmaj7
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
                C       F
I should have known


*Then you repeat the chords all over again according to the lyrics below :)


Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and you're sick need to give love and 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

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 that was wrong
Don't you think nineteens too young to be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I should have known


 Am
You are an expert at sorry
      G
And keeping lines blurry
 F
Never impressed by me acing your tests
 Am                                      G
All the girls that you've run dry with tired, lifeless eyes
            F        Fmaj7
Cause you burned them out
Am                              G      
But I took your matches before fire could catch me;
    F         Fmaj7
So don't look now
     Am                      G                   C
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town.


C  F   Am    G     F


*And repeat the 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 have known
You should have known


 C                          F
Don't you think I was too young?
                   C
You should have known...


*let the C ring out



P.S : I know this is long but seriously, this song lasts for 6 minutes and 43 seconds!
