G                     D 
Janie only cries when she drinks 
                Em       C 
That’s when she wakes up all the neighbourhood 
G              D              Am 
Leaves a trail of tears around her feet 
G                       D 
Janie says that she never knows 
         Em                     C 
But she’s afraid of how it just comes and goes 
G                  D                   Am 
Afraid she’ll lose her way on her own street 

 
C           G         D             C 
But all the cops they know about her  
C            G    D                 C 
She’s got so many friends around her 
C             Bm                Em 
That when she feels she’s sinking down 
          Am              D            C         G 
There’s a thousand arms to bring her back around 

 
G                  D 
Janie says that she never sleeps 
            Em                 C 
She wears a red fur hat in the summer heat 
G                 D                   Am 
Leans her painted bike against your door 
G                               D 
Catch her when she goes for a walk 
            Em                        C 
She says it calms her down just to hear you talk 
    G                      D            Am 
You tell her things you’ve never said before 
 

C           G       D           C 
Janie looks right into your eyes 
C        G         D 
Says you must realize 
C        Bm                   Em 
Not everything you think is true 
         Am            D                   C    G 
And the writing on the wall is there for you 
Am        D 
Woah woah woah woah 
G    D     Em 
Woah woah woah woah 
Am             D                   C   G 
Writing on the wall is there for you 
 

Bm                       Em 
I know it’s hard to see life so many ways 
Am 
You get caught up in the thick of it 
C                   D 
You don’t know what you think of it 
Bm                                   Em 
One thing she told me is when you feel you’re so confused 
Am 
You just wait until the moment passes 
C              D 
Wait until the moment fades away 
 

G                     D 
Janie only cries when she drinks 
                Em           C 
That’s when she wakes up all the neighbourhood 
G              D               Am 
Leaves a trail of tears around her feet 
C           G         D            C 
But all the cops they know about her  
C            G    D                 C 
She’s got so many friends around her 
C             Bm                 Em 
That when she feels she’s sinking down 
          Am            D               C       G 
There’s a thousand arms to bring her back around 
          Am            D               C       G 
There’s a thousand arms to bring her back around 
 
Am        D 
Woah woah woah woah 
G    D      Em 
Woah woah woah woah 
Am                D               C    G 
Thousand arms to bring her back around
