[Verse 1]
Cm Fm
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
G# G7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
Cm Fm
G# picture of Mary hung up in the hall
G# G7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
Cm Fm
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
G# G7
I don’t wanna talk
Cm Fm
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
G# G7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
Cm Fm G# G7
you got the devil in this house
Cm Fm G# G7
[Verse 2]
Cm
All her paintings are slashed
Fm
And the wallpapers’ torn
G#
Mirrors are smashed,
G7
they've been thrown to the floor
Cm
The doors are all locked
Fm
And the handles don’t turn
G#
The ceiling is black
G7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
Cm Fm
And she says “hey, you never smile”
G# G7
I don’t need to smile
Cm Fm
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
G# G7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
G#
Forget all your past
G7
And forget all your pain
G# G7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
G#
My god I’m so scared
G7
And my palms are so moist
G# G7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
Cm
Can you see her now
Fm
Can you touch her now
G#
Can you taste her now
G7
This is not what I was expected
Cm Fm
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
G# G7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
Cm
She could be anybody
Fm
She might be anybody
G#
She’s not just anybody
G7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
G#
She’s needing it worse
G7
She bit the side of her van
G#
I’m hiding in her garden
G7
All her flowers are dead
G#
I heard what she said
G7
And I heard all her prayers
G# G7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
Cm Fm G# G7
I got the devil in this house
Cm Fm G# G7
You got the devil in this house...
