Misc Mashups – Taylor Swift - Dear John - Better Man (Guitar)

E                                                      A
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you

E                                                   A
Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again

B                       C#m       B
My mother accused me of losing my mind

      A
But I swore I was fine

    E                              B
And I know I’m probably better off on my own

                     A
Then lovin’ a man who didn’t know

    E                              B
And I see the permanent damage you did to me

                   A
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic

E                                                  A
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain

      E                                                        A
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day

B                          C#m         B          A
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.

       B                           C#m        B            A
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why

                 A
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror

       B
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it

  A                                    A
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.

                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

    B                           A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

E                                            B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

           C#m                                  A
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

      E
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         B
Like the back of my hand

           C#m                                  A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

          E      A
I shoulda known.

E                              B
I know I’m probably better off all alone

                       A
Than needing a man who could change his mind

              A
At any given minute

                  E
And it was always on your terms

                  B
I waited on every careless word

                       A
Hoping they might turn sweet again

                   A
Like it was in the beginning

     E                                      A
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame.

           E                                                A
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.

    B                          C#m          B
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors

    A
Who don't understand.

              B                    C#m               B
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said

        A
"Run as fast as you can."

         A
But your jealousy, I can hear it now

               B
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around

          A
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun

        B
No, you never thought I’d run

     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.

                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

    B                           A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

     E                             A
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.

                               C#m                        B
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games

       A
When I loved you so?

E                                            B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

           C#m                                  A
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

      E
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         B
Like the back of my hand

           C#m                                  A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A            E B
A better man

  A                                  B
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have

       C#m                         C#m      B         A
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that

           C#m
You are an expert at sorry

    B
And keeping lines blurry

    A
And never impressed by me acing your tests

        C#m
All the girls that you run dry

     B
Have tired lifeless eyes

           A
'Cause you burned them out

    B
But I took your matches

  C#m             B
Before fire could catch me

   A
So don't look now

    B
I'm shining like fireworks

A                   E     Asus2
Over your sad empty town

C#m    B    A
Oh   woah   oh

                  E
I wish you were a better man

         B
I wonder what we would’ve become

              C#m
If you were a better man

   A
We might still be in love

              E
If you were a better man

    B
You would’ve been the one

              C#m
If you were a better man

A
Yeah, yeah

C#m    B    A
Oh   woah   oh

     E                                  A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.

                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

    B                           A

    E                                            B
And sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

           C#m                                  A
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

      E
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         B
Like the back of my hand

           C#m                                  A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

    E                                A
But I see it all now that you're gone.

                          C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

    B                       A
The girl in the dress wrote you a song.

            E
You shoulda known.

            A
You shoulda known.

E                              A
Don't you think I was too young?

              E
If you were a better man

   B
We might still be in love

              C#m
If you were a better man

    A                 B
You would’ve been the one

              E
If you were a better man
