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