I Do It For You, Jane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I first heard [D]you sing in [Em]the Empire Room
[A]Your husky hum engul[G]fed the[A] gloom.
And [D]whatever mission that
[Em]brought me there
Disap[A]peared in the mist
of [G]your am[A]ber hair

[Verse 2]
You [D]laughed and surrendered
your [Em]gifts by degrees
But [A]I was convinced that
[G]you spoke only to [A]me.
And my [D]life turned on its
hinge in that [Em]smoky club
As I [A]ground out my past with
my [G]cigarette stub.
[A]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I [D]do it for you,
[G]Jane- - I love [Em]you so,
[G]My kingdom is [Em]new but
[G]it's going [D]to grow.
Our castles will shimmer
[G]with silver and [Em]gold,
[G]My lady is [Em]lovely she'll [G]never grow [A]old.
And I [D]offer this [Bm]promise-
[F#m]- this one thing I [G]know:
I [Em]do it fo[A]r you, Jane,
for [G]I l[A]ove you [D]so.

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am]
[G][A]
[D]I left that

[Verse 4]
town and went [Em]out on my own,
I made my [A]own kind of music as
[G]I juggled t[A]he phones.
And [D]all the while I worked I was
[Em]reaching towards a time,
When [A]I'd return to find you and
[G]finally make [A]you mine.

[Verse 5]
It took [D]most of two years to [Em]do
what must be done,
Collect the [A]pieces of the puzzle,
[G]you're the final [A]one.
I [D]was shaking as I asked you and
you know [Em]by now I guess,
You [A]made me happy ever
after [G]when you [A]said yes.

[Verse 6]
Yes, [D]I do it for you,
[G]Jane- - I love [Em]you so,
[G]My kingdom is [Em]flourishing,
an[G]d still it will [D]grow.
Our castle it shimmers with [G]silver and [Em]gold,
My [G]lady is [Em]lovely you'll [G]never grow [A]old.
And [D]I shout from [Bm]the heavens,
hel[F#m]lo there down bel[G]ow,
[Em]I do it fo[A]r you, Jane,
for [G]I l[A]ove you [D]so.

[G][A][D]

[Verse 7]
If life could only stay [D]the same but
i [Em]guess it never does,
[A]But God I still remember how
ex[G]cited I [A]was.
[D]Feelings of power I'd [Em]never
known before,
But win[A]ning whets the appetite,
[G]I had t[A]o have more.

[Verse 8]
Homes [D]in New York and London
on the [Em]beach at Malibu,
I bought [A]one for each
facet of [G]woman [A]in you.
By then you [D]had retired from singing
to [Em]bring our baby home,
And I was [A]winging around the country
and you [G]found you were [A]alone.

[Verse 9]
Still, [D]I do it for you,
[G]Jane- - I love [Em]you so,
Our [G]kingdom is [Em]flourishing
an[G]d still it will [D]grow.
Our castles all shimmer
[G]with silver [Em]and gold,
But my [G]lady is [Em]lonely
[G]your smile is growing [A]cold.
As [D]I search through the [Bm]mists on
[F#m]the roads I must go[G],
[Em]Where are you [A]now,
Jane? For [G]I l[A]ove you [D]so.
