CmYou're like an angel in a Ebmorphine dream
What Bbmatters to you just don't Fmatter to me

CmHere is the freak, Ebthere is the genius

CmSometimes I think you're from aEbnother world
'Cause BbJane, you're not like aFny other girl

You Bbdon't have to stand in the Fpouring rain
CmJane Jane, Ebyou're so strange
BbWon't you come out and Fplay with me agaiCmn?Eb  Bb  F

As the Ebgame, game she's been Fplaying since she came

When she's standing in the pouring rain

A Bbhand to hold or a Fkite to fly
CmBut they will never know the Ebmeaning of you
'Cause they Bbjust can't see you the Fway I do
