[Verse 1]
A#m D#m
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
F# F7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
A#m D#m
F# picture of Mary hung up in the hall
F# F7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
A#m D#m
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
F# F7
I don’t wanna talk
A#m D#m
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
F# F7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
A#m D#m F# F7
you got the devil in this house
A#m D#m F# F7
[Verse 2]
A#m
All her paintings are slashed
D#m
And the wallpapers’ torn
F#
Mirrors are smashed,
F7
they've been thrown to the floor
A#m
The doors are all locked
D#m
And the handles don’t turn
F#
The ceiling is black
F7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
A#m D#m
And she says “hey, you never smile”
F# F7
I don’t need to smile
A#m D#m
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
F# F7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
F#
Forget all your past
F7
And forget all your pain
F# F7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
F#
My god I’m so scared
F7
And my palms are so moist
F# F7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
A#m
Can you see her now
D#m
Can you touch her now
F#
Can you taste her now
F7
This is not what I was expected
A#m D#m
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
F# F7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
A#m
She could be anybody
D#m
She might be anybody
F#
She’s not just anybody
F7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
F#
She’s needing it worse
F7
She bit the side of her van
F#
I’m hiding in her garden
F7
All her flowers are dead
F#
I heard what she said
F7
And I heard all her prayers
F# F7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
A#m D#m F# F7
I got the devil in this house
A#m D#m F# F7
You got the devil in this house...
