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