verse:

C              F

Everybody was talking to me

 C             G

Like I was a child

C                       F

In their words I could hear them saying

      C                G

It's just a matter of time

D               Bb  Am   G         C

Anyway it's a long long race been run

D              Bb  Am  G         C

Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung





chorus:

 F

Dear John goodbye she said

 C

Sometimes it's hard she said

 F               D7     Gsus-G

Dear John I've broken away



verse:

Vanity is hard old lady

You can't read her mind

I'm a fool but I don't fool easy

While you're foolin' around

Anyway I can hold my own tonight

I admit I was wrong and you where right



chorus:

Dear John Goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away



chorus:

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away
