Intro: E A - 2x - E A Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you E A Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again B Dbm B My mother accused me of losing my mind A But I swore I was fine E A You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain E A And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day B Dbm B A Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight. B Dbm B A 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. Dbm 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 shoulda known. E A Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame. E A Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away. B Dbm B And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors A Who don't understand. B Dbm B And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said A "Run as fast as you can." E A Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone. Dbm 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. Dbm B Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games A When I loved you so? E A I shoulda known. Dbm You are an expert at sorry B And keeping lines blurry A And never impressed by me acing your tests Dbm All the girls that you run dry B Have tired lifeless eyes A 'Cause you burned them out B But I took your matches Dbm B Before fire could catch me A So don't look now B I'm shining like fireworks A E A Dbm B A Over your sad empty town E A Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone. Dbm 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. Dbm Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? B A The girl in the dress wrote you a song. E You shoulda known. A You shoulda known. E A Don't you think I was too young? E You shoulda known.
