Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]
[D]Oh dear

[Verse 1]
[G]john
[Em]I hate to be the [D]one to [A]break the [Bm]news[G]
But it's con[D]cerning me and [A]you
[F#m]This is the le[Bm]tter no- one
[G]ever wants to [A]write
You may [F#m]not beli[Bm]eve me but it's
[D]the hardest thing I've ever done
[F#m]My eyes see ot[Bm]her glories
[G]Other dreams and[E] other stories
And I [C]want to live before I die
[A]Dear john

[Verse 2]
[D]Ten [A]years [G]on[Em]
I still [D]dream [A]and we [Bm]still hes[G]itate
The [D]passion's all but [A]gone
[D]Oh dear [G]john
[Em]Seems we have [D]a bad d[A]ay every d[Bm]ay[G]
I want to [D]sleep my life [A]away
[F#m]This is the le[Bm]tter no- one
[G]ever wants to rea[A]d
[F#m]And though it hurts [Bm]like hell
It [D]may be what [A]you [D]need to tell you
[F#m]I never wanted[Bm] to be cruel
But I'm [G]so tired of being [E]the strong one
And I don't al[C]ways havet he energy
And [A]you always leave it up to [D]me

[Interlude 1]
Dear john
[G][Em][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]
[F#m]My eyes

[Verse 3]
[Bm]have seen the glory
[G]There's more to life [E]than my life story
And I'll [C]probably never find him
But I [A]have to keep on looking
[G]And [C]I'm very very [Em]sorry
[A]dea[D]r joh[Bm]n[D][G]
[D]
