[Intro] C# [Verse 1]

C#
Hey Jane

Watching over you in Nebraska

    C#
The flood planes

Move over the farms, a disaster

    C#m
The sun heats

Air until it swirls in tornadoes

     B                 G#
But you move solemnly along

C#
She says

You will be the consummate scholar

    C#
And she says

Do you know the world is your oyster?

    C#m
The man says

Come and we will climb Mount Olympus

    B                     G#
But all you want is to be there

                        D#m    G#
in the presence  of her smile

                        D#m    G#
In the presence of her smile

                        C#     F#
In the presence of her smile

C# G# [Verse 2]

C#
We are

Circling over clouds, we are tethered

C#
Wondering

When you're gonna hit bumpy weather

     C#m
Your heart skips

Every time you detect her fragrance

      B
She's out there

                G#                          D#m  G#
Stinking up the late evening air with other boys

                  D#m   G#
A plague on other boys

                        C#       F#
How this feeling does annoy you

                  C#    G#
A plague on other boys

[Bridge] C# A#m B F# |2x [Verse 3]

C#
They say

How can you know love, you're a minor?

    C#
And you say

What else could I know, this defines me?

C#m
I start

Growing, I'm a mess, I'm defeated

    B                           G#
My grade point average went to hell

C#
Watching

Listening for a cultural movement

C#
Get strong

Lenses to see into the future

C#m
March on

Washington if she's in the vanguard

B
Base your

             G#                         D#m   G#
Politics on what she's got written on a flag

                        D#m   G#
What she's written on a flag

                        C#    F#
What she's written on a flag

                            C#      G#
My body's mine and you're a ___drag

                        D#m   G#
What she's written on a flag

                        D#m   G#
What she's written on a flag

                               C#     F#
People are good and walls are madness

                  C#       G#
She wrote it on a ___flag

[Outro]

C#                A#m                   B
Ten long years it took to shake the memory

    F#
The pain, humiliation

C#            A#m
But then suddenly you realized

        B
You're free

    F#
To fraternize again

C#                A#m                        B
She got married, stayed in town and raised a home

F#
See her at Thanksgiving

C#                 A#m                 B
There's a roped up part of every human heart

F#                    C#
For the first one you love
