Dear John (Lennon) - 2:19

Dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over, you've won.

Dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.

The race is over, you've won.

Dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over.

Ooooh.

Dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over.

And dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over.

Do-do,

do-do-do-do-ooh, uh-hu,
yeah, alright.
And dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over.

dear John,
put the tv on, have a snack.
Wash your mother's back.
The race is over.
