[Some violin intro thing.. then]

 

        C         G            Am

Sitting here just watching you sleep,

 

             F               C

Wish I could slip inside and be,

 

        F            C        G

In some technicolour dream,

 

        C                   G            Am

But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe,

 

        F              C

I'm not fool enough to think,

 

             F                 C      G

You couldn't live life without me,

 

F                  G                C

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in,

 

  F                 G             C

I didn't fight this hard to walk away,

 

   Am              E       F

If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry,

 

     F                G                C

It's just because the words got in the way

 

I remember how it used to be,

I was you and you were me,

We were more than just the same,

Now these shoes don't fit, My skin's too tight,

When you want a kiss, I take a bite,

Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights

 

Last night I drank enough to drown,

Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health,

Look, we both know how much I've let you down,

Janie don't take your love to town,

 

Chorus:

 

                F         G       C

Janie don't you take your love to town,

 

                F         G       C

Janie don't you take your love to town,

 

               Am        E    F

If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away

 

F               G         C

Janie don't you take your love to town,

 

You deserve a shooter, a saint

Someone to give it to you straight

To find the soul through flesh and bone

My live's a treasure, full of suny weather

But it's left me feeling cold

Now all you want to do is take me home

 

I hated you, the night you said you loved me

I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself

I'm beggining you now, baby please just hold me

I got one foot in and one foot off the ground

 

Chorus

 

SOLO

 

C                         G       Am

Sitting here while you're fast asleep

       F               C

In the bathroom by the sink

          F                C          G

Trying to write the rights words down

 

       C               G

I turn out the lights, close my eyes

      Am                  F

There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight

     C              F                  C      

What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now

F

Janie don't you take your love to town

 

Chorus
