Dear John Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
So [Dm]long,
I lie here entwined like a [Am]helix[G]
Don't know where I begin,
where you en[Dm]d
How long do we go on trying [Am]to feed it
I just [C]know, I just know, that this can't [Dm]grow

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
I wrote this song to tell you
I'm [Am]leav[C]ing
Afraid to say these words to your [Dm]face
Must be better than a letter
a text or [Am]an email
[C]My right stops here at the end of the [Dm]line.

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
We stopped time, when we [Am]signed in the year,
of our [G]Lord, 1999
With [Dm]a kiss spitting out,
spitting out, time lines
From the moment we locked eyes
at the station of [Am]our [?]
Two [G]reduced to one [C]life, forever [G]pro[Dm]posed,
wicked like a land mine?

[Verse 4]
I [Dm]wrote this song to tell
you I'm leav[Am]ing
[C]Afraid to say these words to your [Dm]face
Must be better than a
letter a text or [Am]an email
My [C]right stops here at the end of the [Dm]line.

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
Every kiss has lost its flavor
[Am]I'm not proud of my behavior
[G]Beached on rock, thought that it was [Dm]land
Lost respect, love imparted
[Am]what was fresh, we took for granted
[G]need to rely on more than just a [Dm]friend

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
I wrote this song to say
that I'm [Am]leaving[C]
Afraid to say these words to your [Dm]face
Must be better than a letter
a text or [Am]an email
[C]My right [G]stops [C]here at the
end of this [Dm]line.

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Am][C][Dm]
