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
