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
