Intro: F# C#
[F#]Dear [C#]John
[F#]What's wr[C#]ong?
[G#]Why can't you just be any[Bbm]thing you [F#]want?
Why n[C#]ot? [G] why [C#]not? [G#]
[F#]I tried to tell you then. [C#]You didn't understand.
[F#]They try and pigeonhole you.
[C#]Buddy, they don't [G#]even know you.
But [F#]hang [C#]on
my d[F#]ear, dear, [C#]John.
[G#]Maybe you're not just like [Bbm]every[F#]one,
so[C#] what[G#], so [C#]what.[G#]
And t[F#]here's m[C#]ore
to l[F#]ive f[C#]or,
G# Bbm FX
than some abbreviated encore,
much [C#]more,[G#] much [C#]more. [G#]
[F#]You can't define yourself
[C#]in terms of someone else.
[F#]You can't say what you're thinking ?
But [C#]I don't know what yo[G#]u've been drinking.
But [F#]don't [C#]cry.
'Cause [F#]life goes [C#]on.
G# Bbm FX
Dear John, you could be anything you want.
Why [C#]not?[G] Why n[C#]ot ?
[G#]Why you could even be an [Bbm]astron[F]aut,
dear J[C#]ohn,[G] dear [C#]John.
