     Dm    F   C 
Dear Joan 
     F            Dm    F    C 
I've almost forgotten 
F           Dm     F   C 
Pane in the window 
     F            Dm       F   C 
Blue dress in the doorway 
 
     Dm   F  C 
Dear Joan 
F         Dm     F  C 
Help me remember 
    F         Dm  F  C 
The face I forget 
        F               Dm       F  C 
And the traps that I've sprung 
 
  F                F/E 
I guess I've grown tired 
     Dm          Dm/C 
It's just what's expected of me 
Bb                          C 
To tear your heart from the inside 
 
To the outside 
    F          F/E 
You know I was wired 
  Dm            Dm/C 
I just couldn't help it 
    Bb               C 
The hundred thousand times i hurt you 
 
     F 
Dear Joan 
  F/E       Dm 
I wanted to say 
         Dm/C            Bb 
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night 
        C 
And the nights before 
          F      F/E       Dm    Dm/C 
Well I've wanted more from this 
     Bb                 C 
Than anything I've ever known

Dear Joan 
     F          Dm        F   C 
Your face has a brightness 
     F          Dm    F   C 
That I've never seen 
       F               Dm        F  C 
In the years that I've known you 
 
     Dm   F  C 
Dear Joan 
  F           Dm       F  C 
I pick up the peices 
     F            Dm    F   C 
Some scattered too far 
         F           Dm      F     C 
See they flew when I kicked them 
 
  F          F/E 
I know you believed 
       Dm          Dm/C 
When I said it was over 
    Bb 
You stood by me patiently 
C 
Waiting and brooding 
   F         F/E 
So deeply in love 
     Dm    Dm/C           Bb    C 
With every face that I've shown 
 
     F

Dm        C 
Once I forget 
Bb          C 
Twice I'm a fool 
      Dm      C 
Three times I wrap 
   Bb     C          Dm    F  C   F 
My hands around your neck 
             Dm       F   C 
While you're sleeping 
       F       Dm        F   C 
You're quietly sleeping 
F            Dm        F  C 
Sleeping and dreaming 
 
     Dm   F  C 
Dear Joan 
      F            Dm      F  C 
Don't walk out the doorway 
  F            Dm   F  C 
Because if you did 
                  F        Dm       F    C 
I believe I could honestly kill you 
 
     F
