Tom: F#m
Em A Bm Dm G D A
Ooooh.............
[Verse]
A G
Oh, dear John
Em A Bm G
I hate to be the one to break the news
D A
But it’s concerning me and you
F#m Bm G A
This is the letter no one ever wants to write
F#m7 Bm7
You may not believe me
D
But it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done
F#m Bm
My eyes see other glories
G E
Other dreams and other stories
C A
And I want to live before I die, dear John
[Verse]
D G Em
Ten years on
A Bm G
I still dream and we still hesitate
D A
The passion’s all but gone
D G
Oh, dear John
Em A Bm G
Seems we have a bad day every day
D A
I want to sleep my life away
F#m Bm G A
This is the letter no one ever wants to read
F#m7 Bm7
And though it hurts like hell
D
It may be what you need to tell you
F#m Bm
I never wanted to be cruel
G E7
But I’m so tired of being the strong one
C
And I don’t always have the energy
A D G
And you always leave it up to me, John
[Bridge]
Em A Bm G D A
[Verse]
F#m Bm G
My eyes have seen the glory
E7
There’s more to life than my life story
C
And I’ll probably never find him
A
But I have to keep on looking
C A Bm
And I’m very very sorry, dear John
