[Intro]
[ch]Cadd2[/ch], G6/B, A7sus, G6/B (x2)
[Verse 1]
[ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B [ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B
The girl works at the store, sweet Jane Saint Clair
[ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B [ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B
Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there
[ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B [ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B
It wasn't long before I lived with her
[ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B [ch]Cadd2[/ch] G6/B A7sus G6/B Am
I sang her songs ah while she dyed my hair

[Chorus]
Am D G Dsus/F# Em7 D Am
Jane, divided, but I can't decide which side I'm on
Am D G Dsus/F# Em7 D Am
Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run
Am D
Jane, Jane
[Instrumental]
[ch]Cadd2[/ch], G6/B, A7sus, G6/B (x2)
[Verse 2]
I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
That's why she thinks it's cooler if we'd just stay friends
[Chorus]
Jane doesn't think a man could ever be faithful
Jane isn't giving me a chance to be shameful
Jane, Jane
[Bridge]
Bm G C Dadd94 Dadd94/D# Em
I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday
Em F#m Bm
That life could be better by being together
C Dadd94 [ch]Cadd2[/ch]
Is what I cannot explain to Jane
[Instrumental]
[ch]Cadd2[/ch], G6/B, A7sus, G6/B (x2)
[Verse 3]
The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair
Still dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there
No promises as vague as Heaven
No Juliana next to my Evan
[Chorus]
Jane, desired by the people at her school and work
Jane is tired, 'cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk
Jane, Jane, Come on
[Coda]
[ch]Cadd2[/ch], G6/B, A7sus, G6/B (x8)
[End on Cadd2]
