Taylor Swift - Dear John: chords

Intro: E  E  A  A - x2

 E
Long were the nights when
                              A
My days once revolved around you
 E
Counting my footsteps
                         A
Praying the floor won't fall through again

    B                    C#m       B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
        A   B      C#m
But I swore I was fine

     E
You paint me a blue sky
                             A
Then go back and turn it to rain
       E
And I lived in your chess game
                                A
But you changed the rules everyday

 B                         C#m
Wonderin' which version of you
         B           A       C#m
I might get on the phone, tonight
         B
Well I stopped pickin' up and
     C#m         B          A     A
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        C#m
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
            E   E   A   A
I shoulda known.

      E
Well maybe it's me
                           A
And my blind optimism to blame
               E
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
                           A
To give love and take it away

     B
And you'll add my name to your
C#m            B
Long list of traitors
     A           C#m
Who don't understand
            B
And I look back in regret how
    C#m              B
I ignored when they said
         A           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        C#m
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
      E                              A
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.
                               C#m
Don't you think nineteen's too young
                      B
To be played by your dark twisted games
        A         C#m
When I loved you so?
            E   E   A   A
I shoulda known.

           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          C#m
'Cause you burned them out
    B
But I took your matches
  C#m              B
Before fire could catch me
    A         C#m
So don't look now
      B
I'm shining like fireworks
A                    E  E  A  A C#m B A
Over your sad empty town

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        C#m  E
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     C#m
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
              E
You shoulda known
              A      E
You shoulda known.
 E                         A
Don't you think I was too young?
                  E
You shoulda known.
