Jianni doesn't like the cold
E E/D# E/B
It once made her weep

Jianni's got her own place now,
E E/D# E/B
The cheapest place she took,

She travels with a trunk of clothes

She gets itchy thighs sometimes
E E/D# E/B
And she'll let you know

Jianni's from Australia
E E/D# E/B
And she fell in love,
E E/D# E/B
But it stopped her from being happy
E E/D# E/B
So she gave it up.
E E/D# E/B
And love and loss are a perfect way to
E E/D# E/B
Douse a flame
E E/D# E/B
But jianni's soul is burning,
E E/D# E/B
She'll burn again.
