Intro:  F Am G E (2x) 

F                        Am 
Dearest Jane I should've known better 
      G                             E 
But I couldn't say hello, I didn't know why 
    F                    Am 
But now I think, I think you were sad 
    G                      E 
Yes you were, you were, you were 

F Am G E (2x) 


F                 Am 
What I say, I say only to you 
        G                    E    
Cause I know and I love only you 
F                        Am 
Dearest Jane, I want to give you a dream 
     G                E 
That no one has given you 


F    E            Am      G 
Remember when we found misery 
   F           E             Am         G 
We watched her, watched her spread her wings 
    F      E        Am        G   
And slowly, slowly fly around our room 
    F                       E 
And she asked for your gentle mind 

F Am G E (2x) 

Bb Dm Am E  F Am E 

Bb               Dm 
Misery is a butterfly 
          Am                   E 
Her heavy wings will warp your mind 
         E               
With her small ugly face 
        F 
And her long antenna 
        Am                   E 
And her black and pink heavy wings 

F    E            Am     G 
Remember when we found misery 
    F           E           Am        G 
We watched her, watched her spread her wings 
    F      E       Am         G 
And slowly, slowly fly around our room 
    F                         E 
And she asked for your gentle mind  

F Am G E (2x)
