Dear John

Lyrics and Chords

Cmin7                                                        Ebmaj7

Up it rose like the morning sun letting me know the day’d began

Abmaj7

My cigarettes, my naivete, never meant so much to me

Cmin7

Out of the blue, out of the air

Ebmaj7

Like silken fingers through my hair

Abmaj7

The night was young, the truth was fey

Abmaj7

You took my hand and led me astray

Abmaj7                         Gmin7

Dear John, I’m in heaven

Abmaj7                      Gmin7

For so long, I could not live with myself

Abmaj7   Gmin7         Fmin

Now, only time will tell

Ab

But I don’t want to be forgiven

Cmin7

Well I never felt like I belonged

Ebmaj7

For I know this world is the world of the strong

Abmaj7

But like the wind it came, with gifts of pain

Abmaj7

Putting words on the tip of my tongue

Cmin7

When you lose that thread, you lose yourself

Ebmaj7

You’re always ready to fall

Abmaj7

I used to wonder, but now I know

Abmaj7

That the brokenhearted are beautiful

Abmaj7                         Gmin7

Dear John, I’m in heaven

Abmaj7                      Gmin7

For so long, I could not live with myself

Abmaj7   Gmin7         Fmin

Now, only time will tell

Ab

But I don’t want to be forgiven

Cmin7

In another time, in another place

Ebmaj7

With the will to defy, and the power to take

Abmaj7

I’ll walk like a man, dance like a fool

Abmaj7

And I’ll carry a photograph of you

Cmin7

And I’ll remember those days when dreams were dreams

Ebmaj7

When the music played, everybody screamed

Abmaj7

I used to wonder, but now I know

Abmaj7

That the brokenhearted are beautiful

Abmaj7                         Gmin7

Dear John, I’m in heaven

Abmaj7                      Gmin7

For so long, I could not live with myself

Abmaj7   Gmin7         Fmin

Now, only time will tell

Ab

But I don’t want to be forgiven

Lyrics

Up it rose like the morning sun letting me know the day’d began
My cigarettes, my naivete, never meant so much to me
Out of the blue, out of the air
Like silken fingers through my hair
The night was young, the truth was fey
You took my hand and led me astray
Dear John, I’m in heaven, for so long, I could not live with myself
Now only time will tell
But I don’t want to be forgiven
Well, I never felt like I belonged
For I know this world is the world of the strong
But like the wind it came, with gifts of pain
Putting words on the tip of my tongue
When you lose that thread, you lose yourself
You’re always ready to fall
I used to wonder but now I know
That the brokenhearted are beautiful
Dear John, I’m in heaven..
In another time, in another place
With the will to defy, and the power to take
I’ll walk like a man, dance like a fool
And I’ll carry a photograph of you
And I’ll remember those days when dreams were dreams
When the music played, everybody screamed
Well I used to wonder; now I know
That the brokenhearted are beautiful
Dear John, I’m in heaven..
