[Intro]
Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B  (x2)

[Verse 1]
Cadd9  G6/B      A7sus4  G6/B             Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B
  The girl works at the store, sweet Jane Saint  Clair
Cadd9  G6/B   A7sus4  G6/B       Cadd9     G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B
  Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there
Cadd9  G6/B   A7sus4  G6/B    Cadd9    G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B
    It wasn't long before I lived with her
Cadd9  G6/B     A7sus4   G6/B      Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B  Am
    I sang her songs ah while she dyed my hair

[Chorus]
Am D             G    Dsus4/F#  Em7      D         Am
 Jane, divided, but I can't decide which side I'm on
Am D           G   Dsus4/F#   Em7         D        Am
 Jane decided only cowards  stay, while traitors run
Am D
 Jane, Jane

[Instrumental]
Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B  (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]
Bm        G                       C             Dadd4add9  Dadd4add9/D#  Em
I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday
Em                  F#m               Bm
That life could be better by being together
           C         Dadd4add9  Cadd9
Is what I cannot explain      to Jane

[Instrumental]
Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B  (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]
Cadd9  G6/B  A7sus4  G6/B  (x8)
Cadd9
