C#m F#m A G#7
[Verse 1]
C#m F#m
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
A G#7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
C#m F#m
A picture of Mary hung up in the hall
A G#7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
A G#7
I don’t wanna talk
C#m F#m
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
A G#7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
C#m F#m A G#7
you got the devil in this house
C#m F#m A G#7
[Verse 2]
C#m
All her paintings are slashed
F#m
And the wallpapers’ torn
A
Mirrors are smashed,
G#7
they've been thrown to the floor
C#m
The doors are all locked
F#m
And the handles don’t turn
A
The ceiling is black
G#7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
And she says “hey, you never smile”
A G#7
I don’t need to smile
C#m F#m
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
A G#7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
A
Forget all your past
G#7
And forget all your pain
A G#7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
A
My god I’m so scared
G#7
And my palms are so moist
A G#7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
C#m
Can you see her now
F#m
Can you touch her now
A
Can you taste her now
G#7
This is not what I was expected
C#m F#m
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
A G#7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
C#m
She could be anybody
F#m
She might be anybody
A
She’s not just anybody
G#7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
A
She’s needing it worse
G#7
She bit the side of her van
A
I’m hiding in her garden
G#7
All her flowers are dead
A
I heard what she said
G#7
And I heard all her prayers
A G#7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
C#m F#m A G#7
I got the devil in this house
C#m F#m A G#7
You got the devil in this house...
C#m
