[Verse 1]
Gm Cm
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
D# D7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
Gm Cm
D# picture of Mary hung up in the hall
D# D7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
D# D7
I don’t wanna talk
Gm Cm
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
D# D7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
Gm Cm D# D7
you got the devil in this house
Gm Cm D# D7
[Verse 2]
Gm
All her paintings are slashed
Cm
And the wallpapers’ torn
D#
Mirrors are smashed,
D7
they've been thrown to the floor
Gm
The doors are all locked
Cm
And the handles don’t turn
D#
The ceiling is black
D7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
And she says “hey, you never smile”
D# D7
I don’t need to smile
Gm Cm
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
D# D7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
D#
Forget all your past
D7
And forget all your pain
D# D7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
D#
My god I’m so scared
D7
And my palms are so moist
D# D7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
Gm
Can you see her now
Cm
Can you touch her now
D#
Can you taste her now
D7
This is not what I was expected
Gm Cm
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
D# D7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
Gm
She could be anybody
Cm
She might be anybody
D#
She’s not just anybody
D7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
D#
She’s needing it worse
D7
She bit the side of her van
D#
I’m hiding in her garden
D7
All her flowers are dead
D#
I heard what she said
D7
And I heard all her prayers
D# D7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
Gm Cm D# D7
I got the devil in this house
Gm Cm D# D7
You got the devil in this house...
