Dear John Chords

(ver. 1)
James
Dm Am C Dm (repeated over the whole wong)

[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]

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.
