 basically this is the picking pattern
 Dear Joan
 I've almost  forgotten
Pane  in the window
 Blue dress  in the doorway
 Dear Joan
Help  me remember
 The face  I forget
 And the traps  that I've sprung
 I guess  I've grown tired
 It's just  what's expected  of me
To  tear your heart from the inside
 To the outside
 You know  I was wired
 I just  couldn't help  it
 The hundred  thousand times  i hurt you
 Dear Joan
 I wanted  to say
 That I'm sorry  for the screaming  last night
 And the nights  before
 Well I've wanted more  from this
 Than anything  I've ever known
 Dear Joan
 Dear Joan
 Your face  has a brightness
 That I've  never seen
 In the years  that I've known  you
 Dear Joan
 I pick  up the peices
 Some scattered  too  far
 See they flew  when I kicked  them
 I know  you believed
 When I said  it was over
 You stood  by me patiently
Waiting  and brooding
 So deeply  in love
 With every face  that I've shown
 Dear Joan
 I wanted  to say
 That I'm sorry  for the screaming  last night
 And the nights  before
 Well I've wanted more  from this
 Than anything  I've ever known
Once  I forget
Twice  I'm a fool
 Three times  I wrap
 My hands  around  your neck
 While you're sleeping
 You're quietly sleeping
Sleeping  and dreaming
 Dear Joan
 Don't walk  out the doorway
 Because  if you did
 I believe I could honestly kill  you
 Dear Joan
 I wanted  to say
 That I'm sorry  for the screaming  last night
 And the nights  before
 Well I've wanted more  from this
 Than anything  I've ever known
 Dear Joan
 I wanted  to say
 That I'm sorry  for the screaming  last night
 And the nights  before
 Well I've wanted more  from this
 Than anything  I've ever known
 Dear Joan
