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