Dear John Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh, [G]yeah[F], [C]oh[Dm]
[Am][Bsus4][E][Am]
You had just walked in [Dm]from work
And there's a letter in the kitchen
With [E]your name on [Am]it
Inside, you will [Dm]find
An answer [Am]for each q[E]uestion you [Am]have
You had to know the day would [Dm]come
That I'd find out that [Am]you a[E]re a l[Am]iar
And a player, and the list goes on
So it [Dm]hurts you now
But it would hurt even more if I [Am]stayed,
[E]so

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hope that you can [G]understand
[F]That you were [Em]once my man
[Dm]But it's time to move [Am]on
[Bsus4]Since you're playing gam[E]es, oh

[Verse 3]
[Am]You thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
You be sure to read each line
Line by line, and take your time
You thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
By the time you read this letter
I'll be feeling much better

[Verse 4]
So long, that means I'm gone
[Am]Guess that you are [G]wondering
[F]How did she [Em]know that I
[Dm]Was the type to play y[Am]ou
If you [Bsus4]read, you'll fin[E]d out[Am]

[Verse 5]
I have to end [Am]it
Bet I was [Dm]right from the start
And I never took the time to [Am]ask mys[E]elf
[Am]Why, oh, why would you waste your time
On a [Dm]nig ga in the club with
a group of thugs
You shoulda [Am]known it was [E]on
When I [Am]kept callin' your job
And they said that you were sick
So I [Dm]paged you, don't get no call back
Now it all makes [Am]sense
[E]The

[Verse 6]
[Am]two of us are not meant to be
So by the time you read this letter
And try to [Dm]make things better
Save your lines
But [Am]read each [E]one [Am]of mine
Wish you'd see your [G]game was not Strong

[Verse 7]
[F]
enough to keep
[Em]me h[Dm]olding on
Now you be [Am]strong
[Bsus4]Time for me to go 'cause[E][Am]

[Verse 8]
Thought the day would never come [Am]Never ever
thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
You be sure to read each line
Line by line, and take your time
You thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
By the time you read this letter
I'll be feeling much better

[Verse 9]
So long, that means I'm gone
[Am]You thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
You be sure to read each line
Line by line, and take your time
You thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
By the time you read this letter
I'll be feeling much better

[Verse 10]
So long, it means I'm gone
[Am]I wish I could see the look on your face
[F]Ha ha ha, [E]ha ha ha
And you [Am]wish you could just see my face
[F]No no no, [E]no no no
You [Am]thought I was playin'
when I said you had
One [F]more time, [E]one more [F]time
But if [Dm]you can play this g[Am]ame
Then I can play [E]it too, 'cause

[Verse 11]
[Am]You thought the day
would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading, "Dear John"
You be sure to read each line
Line by line, and take your time

Would be reading,
"Dear John"

So long, that means I'm gone
You thought the day would never come

[Verse 12]

Would be reading, "Dear John"
You be sure to read each line
Line by line, and take your time
You thought the day would never come
