[Intro]
A E
[Verse 1]
E A
Well stranger things are happening here
E
I see the ghosts now in broad daylight
Eb D
And while the midnight boys continue their songs
A E
The reaper rolls his eyes
[Verse 2]
E A
Without a shadow of a doubt,
E
He says this party is a pale view
Eb D
Of what time slowly did to them
A A7
and what I'm gonna do to you.
[Chorus]
D E
But Jane beat that reaper with a broomstick hard
A D
Ran that bag of bones across the whole front yard
A D A
And she screams, no one takes a party from me
D A
no one takes a party from me
D E F#m B
no one takes a party from Jane
D E A E
no one takes a party from Jane
[Verse 3]
E A
She wore medallions on a string
E
She said they warded off the boredom
Eb D
Of life alone and the constant sting
E
Of what she was before him.
[Verse 4]
E A
But stranger things have happened here
E
She disappeared with every daybreak
Eb D
Her clockwork crisis never seemed so clear
A A7
Her strung-out strife never seemed so fake
[Chorus]
D E
But Jane dropped those trinkets in the ole Grand Isle,
A D
And they sank with all her misery, her vacant smile.
A D A
Still she pleads, who can take this hurt out of me
D A
who can take this hurt out of me
D E F#m B
But nothing takes the urge out of Jane
D E A A7
Oh nothing takes the hurt out of Jane
[Bridge]
C#m D
And her fate, she knows, is to wait so close
F E D
at the gates of Hell until the day he calls
F E
so she spends her time pacing Purgatory
D
that's all, yeah that is all
[Chorus]
D E
Well she traded all her riches in for dime store rags
A D
Her mama tried her best to fill those shopping bags
A D A
Still she screams, please don't waste your money on me
D A
please don't waste your money on me
D E F#m B
'Cause nobody could buy love from Jane
D E F#m B
She'll party in her rags all the same
D E D A
Well no one takes the party from Jane
