        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
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,

(verso 2)
     C         G            Am
I remember how it used to be,
         F               C
I was you and you were me,
       F            C        G
We were more than just the same,
C                 G                      Am
Now these shoes don't fit, My skin's too tight,
        F              C
When you want a kiss, I take a bite,
             F                 C      G
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights,
F                  G                C
Last night I drank enough to drown,
         F               G           C
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health,
   Am              E       F
Look, we both know how much I've let you down,
     F                G                C
Jaine don't take your love to town,

(refrão)
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
               Am        E    F          Fm
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G         C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,

(verso 3)
   C         G            Am
You deserve a shooter, a saint
            F             C
Someone to give it to you straight
             F                   C           G
To find the soul throught flesh and bone
C                              G
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
          Am              F
But it's left me feeling cold
      C           F            C
Now all you want to do is take me home

F                  G                C
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
      F               G           C
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
   Am              E       F
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me
    F                G             C
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

(refrão)
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
               Am        E    F           Fm
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G         C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,

(verso 4)
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 right words down
C          G                Am
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
          F                         C
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight
        F                 C      G
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now
     F                G                C
Janie don't you take your love to town

(refrão)
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
                F         G       C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
               Am        E    F           Fm
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G         C
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
