[Verse 1]
Dm Gm
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
A# A7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
Dm Gm
A# picture of Mary hung up in the hall
A# A7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
A# A7
I don’t wanna talk
Dm Gm
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
A# A7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
Dm Gm A# A7
you got the devil in this house
Dm Gm A# A7
[Verse 2]
Dm
All her paintings are slashed
Gm
And the wallpapers’ torn
A#
Mirrors are smashed,
A7
they've been thrown to the floor
Dm
The doors are all locked
Gm
And the handles don’t turn
A#
The ceiling is black
A7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
And she says “hey, you never smile”
A# A7
I don’t need to smile
Dm Gm
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
A# A7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
A#
Forget all your past
A7
And forget all your pain
A# A7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
A#
My god I’m so scared
A7
And my palms are so moist
A# A7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
Dm
Can you see her now
Gm
Can you touch her now
A#
Can you taste her now
A7
This is not what I was expected
Dm Gm
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
A# A7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
Dm
She could be anybody
Gm
She might be anybody
A#
She’s not just anybody
A7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
A#
She’s needing it worse
A7
She bit the side of her van
A#
I’m hiding in her garden
A7
All her flowers are dead
A#
I heard what she said
A7
And I heard all her prayers
A# A7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
Dm Gm A# A7
I got the devil in this house
Dm Gm A# A7
You got the devil in this house...
