This is the version from Ben Folds Live but the song is 99% the same on the Ben 
Folds Five album TUBORM


this song is best played with a capo on the first fret, or just transposed down a half step. 
i'll give the original chords as if played with a capo so you can play along with the original.

chords in the end of the chorus, the G #5, and the F# 6


Intro:
BbM7   Cm11 on Bb        BbM7    Cm11 on Bb   


Verse:
BbM7         DbM7                         
Jane be jane       You're better that way 

AbM7                    BM7                   BbM7              Cm11 on Bb 
   Not when your trying     Imitating something you think you saw 

BbM7             DbM7
    Jane be jane      And if sometimes that might 

AbM7                BM7
    Drive them away     Let them stay there 

          BbM7
You don't      need them anyway 


Chorus:
EbM7
   You're worried there might not be 

Dm
Anything at all inside

Cm 
  That you're worried 

       Gm                     Gm on F
Should tell you that's not right 

             Ab
Don't try to see yourself 

    G #5
The way that others do 

F# 6           Fsus4 7
    It's no use 



Instrumental part follows the chords from the verse starting at the intro chords 
once then back to the...

Chorus:

then the outro verse:

BbM7
   But it's your life 

DbM7
    You can decorate it 

AbM7
    As you like 

BM7
    Beneath the pain and armour 

BbM7            AbM7
    In your eyes     the truth still shines 

         BbM7
Jane be jane
 
AbM7          BbM7
    Jane be jane
