[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
F E7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
Am Dm
F picture of Mary hung up in the hall
F E7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
Am Dm
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
F E7
I don’t wanna talk
Am Dm
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
F E7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
Am Dm F E7
you got the devil in this house
Am Dm F E7
[Verse 2]
Am
All her paintings are slashed
Dm
And the wallpapers’ torn
F
Mirrors are smashed,
E7
they've been thrown to the floor
Am
The doors are all locked
Dm
And the handles don’t turn
F
The ceiling is black
E7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
Am Dm
And she says “hey, you never smile”
F E7
I don’t need to smile
Am Dm
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
F E7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
F
Forget all your past
E7
And forget all your pain
F E7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
F
My god I’m so scared
E7
And my palms are so moist
F E7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
Am
Can you see her now
Dm
Can you touch her now
F
Can you taste her now
E7
This is not what I was expected
Am Dm
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
F E7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
Am
She could be anybody
Dm
She might be anybody
F
She’s not just anybody
E7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
F
She’s needing it worse
E7
She bit the side of her van
F
I’m hiding in her garden
E7
All her flowers are dead
F
I heard what she said
E7
And I heard all her prayers
F E7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
Am Dm F E7
I got the devil in this house
Am Dm F E7
You got the devil in this house...
