Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again

And my mother accused me of losing my mind

But I swore I was fine
D G
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
D
And I lived in your chess game
G
But you changed the rules everyday

Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight

Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

D G
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand

All the girls that you've run dry

Have tired, lifeless eyes

Cause you burned them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me

So don't look now

I'm shining like fireworks

Over your sad empty town

About this song: Dear John
Taylor Swift explains the story behind "Dear John" on her official website: "The song "Dear John" is sort of like the last email you would ever send to someone that you used to be in a relationship with. Usually people write this venting last email to someone and they say everything that they want to say to that person, and then they usually don't send it. I guess by putting this song on the album I am pushing send."
