Version 1 Version 2 Version 4

I really wanted to know how to play this song so I could cover it as I love it! someone
out the chords for me so I thought I would post them here for you as they don't post on here.

She plays it in the key of E so there are a couple of barre chords: B &amp; C#m If you
to sing it in the key of G, you could transpose the chords so that there would be no barre chords.
E -&gt; G
A -&gt; C
B -&gt; D
C#m -&gt; Em

Intro

E A E A

[Verse]

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 C#m 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 C#m B A
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
B C#m B A
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why

[Chorus]

E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
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.

[Verse]

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 C#m B
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
A
Who don't understand.
B C#m B
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said
A
"Run as fast as you can."

[Chorus]

E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
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.
C#m 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.

[Bridge]

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
'Cause 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 Asus2
Over your sad empty town
C#m B A
Oh woah oh

[Chorus]

E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
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.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B A
The girl in the dress wrote you a song.

[Outro]

E
You shoulda known.
A
You shoulda known.
E A
Don't you think I was too young?
E
You shoulda known.
