Tom: Am

C                       G             Am
Sittin here just watching you sleep,
          F                     C
Wish I could slip inside and be,
F               C               G
In some technicolor 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


[Verse 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
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
Am                       F
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
C                       F              C
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
Janie don't you 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
If I've got to beg I'll beg
F                Fm
Just don't walk away
F                       G               C
Janie, don't you take your love to town


[Verse 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 through 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 wanna do is take me home
F                G             C
I hated you the night you said you loved me
F                G             C
I hated you because 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 and one foot off the ground


[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
If I've got to beg I'll beg
F
Just don't walk away
F                       G               C
Janie, don't you take your love to town


[Verse 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
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                Fm
Janie don't you 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
If I've got to beg I'll beg
F                Fm
Just don't walk away
F                       G               C
Janie, don't you take your love to town
                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
If I've got to beg I'll beg
F                Fm
Just don't walk away
F                       G               C
Janie, don't you take your love to town
                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
If I've got to beg I'll beg
F                Fm
Just don't walk away
F                       G               C
Janie, don't you take your love to town
F                 Fm        C
Janie, don't you take your love
