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