Janie, Don't Take Your Love to Town

• C

        C          G             Am
Sitting 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      
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    Em      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
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 you good looks and to my health
      Am               Em        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        Em   F
If i've gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G                 C
Janie don't you take your love to town
C             G          Am
You deserve sure 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 live'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            Em   F
I'm beggining 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        Em   F    
If i've gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G                 C
Janie don't you take your love to town
F
Janie don't you take your love
SOLO

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 off 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
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        Em   F    
If i've gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
F               G                 C
Janie don't you take your love to town
