Dear John chords by Taylor Swift

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

song-dear john
tunning-capo on second fret

Intro-G


G+G
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
G+G
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
    A augmentedA
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
G+G
But I swore I was fine

G+G
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
    D MajorD
And I lived in your chess game
              G+G
But you changed the rules everyday
G+G
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
    G+G
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

   G+G
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
              B minorBm
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
G+G    (STOP)
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
      D MajorD
I should've known
G+G

   G+G
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
       G+G
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
    G+G
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
       A augmentedA
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
    G+G
Run as fast as you can

   G+G
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
             B minorBm
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
   G+G
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
   G+G
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
             B minorBm
Don't you think 19's too young to be played by
   G+G
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
       D MajorD
I should've known

G+G

      B minorBm
You are an expert at sorry
   A augmentedA
And keeping lines blurry
G+G
Never impressed by me acing your tests
    B minorBm
All the girls that you've run dry
   A augmentedA
Have tired, lifeless eyes
      G+G
Cause you burned them out
    A augmentedA
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
  G+G
So don't look now
   A augmentedA
I'm shining like fireworks
D MajorD
Over your sad empty town
 G+G

    G+G
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
             B minorBm
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
  G+G
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home D MajorD
               G+G
I see it all now that you're gone
              B minorBm
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
  G+G
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
        D MajorD
You should've known
        G+G
You should've known.................(D MajorD)
              G+G
Don't you think I was too young
        D MajorD
