Intro
[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G]Long were the nights when my days
once revolved around [C]you
Co[G]unting the footsteps
praying the floor wont f[C]all through Aga[Cm]in
And my [D]mother accused me of [Em]losing my m[D]ind
But I swo[C]re I was fi[Cm]ne
You pa[G]int me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to r[C]ain
And I l[G]ived in your chess game
but you changed the rules every[C]day
W[D]onderin’ which version of [Em]you I might g[D]et
on the phon[C]e Toni[Cm]ght
Well I s[D]topped picking up
and this [Em]song is to le[D]t you know w[C]hy..[Cm].
Chorus
Dear [G]john I see it all
now that you’re g[C]one
Don’t you think I was too yo[Em]ung
to be messed with the gi[D]rl in the dress
cried the wh[C]ole way ho[Cm]me
[G] ..C
I should have known
W[G]ell maybe it’s me and my blind
optimism to bla[C]me..
Maybe it’s y[G]ou and you’re sick need
to give love and take it aw[C]ay [Cm]
And y[D]ou’ll add my name to your l[Em]ong
list of tra[D]itors who don[C]’t understa[Cm]nd
And I’ll look b[D]ack and regret
how I igno[Em]red when they sa[D]id
run as f[C]ast as you [Cm]can
Chorus

Dear [G]john I see it all
now that was wr[C]ong

All the [Em]girls that you’ve run dry
with t[D]ired lifeless eyes
Cause you b[C]urned them [Cm]out
But [D]I took your matches

So d[C]on’t look [Cm]now
