[Intro]
C5 , G5 , A5 , G5 (x2)

[Verse 1]
C5  G5      A5   G5             C5  G5  A5  G5
  The girl works at the store, sweet Jane Saint  Clair
C5  G5   A5   G5       C5     G5  A5 G5
  Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there
C5  G5   A5   G5    C5    G5  A5  G5
    It wasn't long before I lived with her
C5  G5     A5    G5      C5  G5  A5 G5  A5
    I sang her songs ah while she dyed my hair

[Chorus]
A5 D5             G5    D5   E5      D5         A5
 Jane, divided, but I can't decide which side I'm on
A5 D5           G5   D5    E5         D5        A5
 Jane decided only cowards  stay, while traitors run
A5 D5
 Jane, Jane

[Instrumental]
C5 , G5 , A5 , G5 (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]
B5        G5                       C5             D94  D5  E5
I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday
E5                  F#5               B5
That life could be better by being together
           C5         D94   C5
Is what I cannot explain    to Jane

[Instrumental]
C5 , G5 , A5 , G5 (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]
C5 , G5 , A5 , G5 (x8)

[End on Cadd2]
