Sitting here just watching you sleep 
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream 
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe 
I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me 

I [bad word] this far to throw the towel in 
I didn't fight this hard to walk away 
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry 
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 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 

You deserve a shooter, a saint 
Someone to give it to you straight 
To find the soul through flesh and bone 
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather 
But it's left me feeling cold 
Now all you wanna do is take me home 
I hated you, the night you said you loved me 
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself 
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me 
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love ... 

[Guitar solo]

Sitting here while you're fast asleep 
In the bathroom by the sink 
Trying to write the right words down 
I turn out the lights, close my eyes 
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight 
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 
Janie, don't you take your love to town 
Janie, don't you take your love
