Dear John (CHORDS) by James
[Verse 1]~
Dm Am
So long,.. I lie here entwined like a helix
C Dm
Don’t know where I begin,.. where you end
Dm Am
How long do we go on trying to feed it
C Dm
I just know,.. I just know,.. that this can’t grow
[Chorus]~
Dm Am
I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving
C Dm
Afraid to say these words to your face
Dm Am
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
C Dm
My ride stops here at the end of the line!
[Verse 2]~
Dm Am C
We stopped time,.. when we signed in the year,.. of our Lord,.. 1999
Dm
With a kiss spitting out,.. spitting out,.. time lines
Dm Am
From the moment we locked eyes at the station our hours got synchronized
C Dm
Two reduced to one life,.. forever proposed,.. wicked like a land mine..?
[Chorus]~
Dm Am
I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving
C Dm
Afraid to say these words to your face
Dm Am
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
C Dm
My ride stops here at the end of the line!
[Verse 3]~
Dm
Every kiss has lost its flavor
Am
I’m not proud of my behavior
C Dm
Beached on rock,.. thought that it was land
Dm
Lost respect,.. love departed
Am
what was fresh,.. we took for granted
C Dm
need to rely on more than just a friend
[Chorus]~
