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