Artist/Band: Swift Taylor Tabs
Song: Dear John Tab
Intro E-A-E-A
E
Long were the nights
A
When the days once revolved around you
E
Counting my footsteps,
A
Prayin’ the floor won’t fall through, again
B C#m B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
A
But I swore I was fine
E
You paint me a blue sky and go back
A
And turn it to rain
E
And I lived in your chess game
A
But you changed the rules every day
B C#m
Wonderin which version of you
B A
I might get on the phone, tonight,
B
Well I stopped pickin’ up
C#m B A
And this song is to let you know why
E
Dear John,
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
The girl in the dress
A
Cried the whole way home
E A
I shoulda known
E
Well maybe it’s me
A
And my blind optimism to blame
E
Maybe its you and your sick need
A
To give love then take it away
B
And you’ll add my name
C#m B
To your long list of traitors
A
Who don’t understand
B
And I’ll look back in regret
C#m B
How I ignored when they said
A
Run as fast as you can
E
Dear John,
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
The girl in the dress
A
Cried the whole way home
E
Dear John,
A
I see it all now it was wrong
C#m
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
B
To be played by your dark twisted games
A
When I loved you so
E A
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
Cuz you burned them out
B
But I took your matches
C#m B
Before fire could catch me
A
So don’t look now
B
I’m shining like fireworks
A E A C#m B A
Over your sad empty town
E
Dear John,
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
The girl in the dress
A E
Cried the whole way home
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
The girl in the dress
A
Wrote you a song
E
You should’ve known
A E
You shoulda known
A
Don’t you think I was too young
E
You shoulda known.
