Minor quibble... they had been Jefferson Starship for years at that point.
I haven't heard the song in many a moon, but here's what I remember:
intro: Em G D A
Em G D A Em G D A
Jane, you say it's all over for you and me, girl
There's a time for love and a time for lettin' it be, baby
Em D G D
Jane, you're playin' a game
Em D G D
Called hide-and-seek by its real name
Em D/F# G G#dim A A#dim B
Makin' believe that you just don't feel the same
(another verse but I don't remember it)
bridge:
C#m F#m C#m F#m
Were all those nights we spent together
C#m F#m C#m F#m
Only because you didn't know better
F#m G#m

A A#dim Bsus B Bsus B
Playin' a game, playin' a game
