[Verse 1]
G                        C
I came home from war
G
To a letter you had written me
C                           G
Right outside my door
C
What it had inside I couldn't
G
Begin to understand
C
Your love was something
                  G                    C
I didn't have to comprehend because
            G
It was there
C
And now it was gone
G
With a man that I've met
               C
Holding hands and having kids
G
You were
C
When I was away at war
G                           C
To fight for you, end my life
G                                     C
Wanting to be side by side with you

[Chorus]

But I'll still
G
Jump into the water
        Am
And save your purse
                C
I'll still hold you
                               D
When you're too scared to be alone
                     G
But in another time
Am
In another universe and not mine
                            C
Because you're his
                            D
And we can't build a life
G
And it's over
Am
The letter you had written me
C
Still inside my head
G              C
Dear Joh-hn
G               F
Dear Joh-hn
G                C
Dear Joh-hn
G                F
Dear Joh-hn
