1. _ Jane
[f#]she came from a wealthy family
[b]there were walls inside the walls
[f#]she walked the widow's walk [b]so all alone
[f#]she watched from every window
[b]darkened every door
[f#]saw her reflection
In every [g#m]wave that hit the shore
[a]jane, why don't you [e]give a damn
[a]jane, why don't you [e]stay
[a]jane, why don't you [e]give a damn
[a]jane, why don't you [e]stay
Wandered off into the night
One eye closed, the other blind
Reading the silver side of signs
Don't worry it's to late
Some rain don't come down straight
Everything you had, you lost before
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
And when her scattered thoughts had died
The sand upon her feet had dried
Among chandeliers and sweet perfume
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay

5. _ To Call My Own
Verse one:
[a]blowing through my [b]losing streak
[e]bought the farm on a [a]dead-end street
[a]nothing ever [b]grows under your [e]sun
[a]filling voids with [b]emptiness
[e]driving past your [a]old address
[a]loneliness: [b]two has turned to [e]one
Chorus i:
[f#m] they welcome you with [b]broken arms
[e]tell you they don't [a]mean no harm
[a] do they mean [b]anything at [e]all?
Verse two:
Feeling crowded by my company
You can't hate but parts of me
I know there's a new myth on your floor
Staying up in 409
The days are yours, the nights are mine
Burned out everything except your door
Chorus ii:
It's like breaking out of broken homes
They tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own
To call my own
Repeat intro
Verse three:
There's a gold mine in the local scene
Get nine lives, need thirteen
Paid the price, landed on all fours
Chorus iii:
You used to mean the world to me
Scared to death of what that means
So it don't mean nothing at all
I welcomed you with broken arms
You know i don't mean no harm
Do i mean anything at all?
Repeat intro [x2]
Chorus iv:
They all come from broken homes
Tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own

6. _ Keys
She had a nova that was tinted green
He took a greyhound that was a bus
From the city of new orleans
The only light that shined in their eyes
Was that of a simple screen
In a one bal harbour bedroom apartment
With a vision and a dream
Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone
Deep in nevada they played it straight
They stayed in reno inside a casino
With a two, four rate
The only life that was in their eyes
Was burning like the sun
It is this sundowner hellroom confinement
Where they remained as one
Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone
Back in miami
Back in miami, back to the sand
He took to running that was illegal
She ran a peanut stand
The only night he closed his eyes was his last one
In a one bal harbour bedroom apartment
Where his drean begun
Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone
Now they're living in miami
Trying to get down to the keys
Is it lost, is it such a cost
When you try to aim to please
Down for the dirt nap
They took it down for the dirt nap
They took it ...

[dm] wouldn't be such [g]fire starters
[c] then you wouldn't [g]have to put me [dm]out [g]

[ c | g | dm | g ]
Verse two:
Seeing through a two-way mirror
Looking back it's all a little clearer
Or just the line-up of your life
All day long you put 'em through their paces
Late at night haunted by their faces
Darkness fades into the morning light
Chorus ii:
You say you're looking through me
Scared of the things that you see
But i swear
It's only reflections on me
Bridge:
[bb]one more time for old times
Come with [f]me
Just [bb]one last time for all times
[dm]seeing you just the [g]same way
Different[c]ly [ csus4 | c ]

Could have been a little smarter
Shouldn't have been such fire starters
Fires they always burn out

10. _ If I Only Had A Car
If i only had a car[f]
Wouldn't be here in this bar[g]
Trying to get to you[am]
[am]time[g]takes[f]toll
[am]the hours[g]i'd[f]roll
[bflat]is this a blessing or [f] is this a curse
[bflat]seems this love only makes[f]matters[g]worse
If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you
Time takes toll,
The hours i'd roll
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
Seems this love makes matters worse
I'm stuck in this cafe
Lost along the way
Moving to keep strong
When i'm feeling myself burn
It don't matter let it hurt
It tells me i'm alive
When you saw me in california
I was lost in a dusty haze
Now that i know you
You feel so far away
If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you
As i'm waving you goodbye
Following the line
Trying to get to you
Still the echos fill the void
Your eyes rolled in your head
As you slowly disappeared
Still hard to rearrange
The distance made it strange
I'm still trying to get to you
If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you

[dm] he disap[f]peared in[c]side
The train [f] stopped in a field of [c] oil wells
[f] a blind girl needed help getting [c] off
The man was [f] drunk from a flask half-[c]full of rum
[f]i shook my head when he [c] offered me some
[f] "que sera," he said and [c] took another swig
The [f] train roared up a hill of [c] sickly pines
A small [f] boy chased a ball up the [c] aisle
As the [f] black mouth of the tunnel [c] swallowed us up
[dm] we disap[f]peared in[c]side
[dm] we disap[f]pear in[c]side
