View chords used in this chart
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 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
And 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.
*Chorus*
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
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.
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
F G 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
And 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 and one foot of the ground
*Chorus*
<Instrumental>
*Chorus*
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
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
F G C
Jaine don't you take your love...
Enjoy!

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