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

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

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

March on
Washington if she's in the vanguard
B
Base your

What she's written on a flag

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

The pain, humiliation
C#            A#m

You're free
    F#
To fraternize again
C#                A#m                        B
She got married, stayed in town and raised a home

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
