[verse 1]
           Fm        Eaug    
some might say we’re released

pushing daisies, deceased
       Ab           C7            Fm C7
but we all know the worms must be fed
             Fm            Eaug
there’s just one lingering fear

oh my soul, is it here?
         Ab      C7                Fm   
or is it rotting somewhere with my head?

[verse 3]
             Fm                     
and from the ground, beneath my feet
           C#maj7               
i hear the anguish of the street
C#maj7                
a choir never complete
            Fm                
and like an old forgotten tune
                   C#maj7
a song that no one knows…
             C#   
forgot how it goes
     C7         
just john and me
                         Fm 
forever, eternally, jane doe

[chorus b]
Fm C#
        C7     Fm       
and i’m asking why lord?
                 C7       
if this is how i die, lord
C7                        
why be left with no family
       Fm      Fm7 C#maj7
and no friends?
         C7     Fm     
i’ve got no celebration
          C7         
just this consolation
C7               
time eats all his
                Fm C# C#maj7
children in the end
Gm       C7 Gm
ahhhhhhhh

[verse 4]
Gm                             
a melody floats through the air
             Cm                     
when silence falls, does no one care
Cm               
does anyone care?
Gm                         
another sad, forgotten tune
                         Cm   
another song that no one knows
                 Cm   
so that’s how it goes?
     D7         
just john and me
                        Gm 
forever eternally, jane doe

[chorus b]
Gm                         
and she’s asking, why lord?
Gm                 
why, oh why, oh why
                  D7        
this is no way to die, lord!
D7                            
no one to sing, no one to sigh
         D7                  
now that all is said and done
                                    Gm Ebmaj7 D7
isn’t there anyone to tell me who i am?
Gm                             
no singing songs of celebration
                D7         
just this sorry speculation
     D7                     
like john i’ll be, eternally
  Ebmaj7               D7          
a forgotten name, some lost refrain
D7       
just jane
N.C.
jane…
N.C. Gm
doe!

[outro]
Gm                          Gm7
a melody floats through the air
             Ebmaj7             Ab   
when silence falls, does no one care?
D7  
jane
Gm 
doe
