[Verse 1]
[F]Dear [G]Joh[C]n
[F]What's [G]wro[C]ng?[G]
Why can't you just be any[F]thing
[Am]you [F]want? [C]Why [G]not?
[C]Why [F]not? I tried to tell you [G]then.[C]
You didn't [F]understand.
They try and pigeonhole you.
[C]Buddy, they [G]don't even know you.
But [F]hang [G]on [C]my dear,[F]
dear, [C]John.[G]
Maybe you're not just like [Am]every[F] on[Am]e, so[F] what,[C]
[G]so [C]wha[F]t.[C]
[F][C][G][Am][F]
[C][G][C]
And [F]there's [C]more to
[F]liv[G]e f[C]or,[G]
Than some [F]abbreviated [Am]en core,
[F]much mor[C]e, muc[G]h more.[C][F]
You can't define [C]yourself in terms
of someone [F]else.
You can't say what you're thinking?
But [C]I don't know what
[G]you've been drinking.
But [F]don't [C]cry. 'Cause
[F]life [C]goe[G]s on.
Dear John, you could be anything
[Am]you want[F]. Why [C]not?[G]
[C]Why [G]not?
Why you could even be an [Am]astronaut,
[F]dea[C]r Joh[G]n, dea[C]r John.
