Intro : E A E A
E
Long were the nights when my days
A
once revolved around you
E
Counting the footsteps
A Am
praying the floor wont fall through Again
B C#m B
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
A Am
But I swore I was fine
E
You paint me a blue sky
A
And 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 B
Wonderin' which version of you I might get
A Am
on the phone Tonight
B
Well I stopped picking up
C#m B A Am

Reff :

Dear john I see it all
A

C#m
Don't you think I was too young
B
to be messed with the girl in the dress
A Am

E
Well maybe it's me and my blind
A
optimism to blame..
E
Maybe it's you and you're sick need
A Am
to give love and take it away

And I lived in your chess game

Wonderin' which version of you I might get
on the phone Tonight
Well I stopped picking up
