[Verse 1]
Fm A#m
Mrs. Mooney’s house is cold and it’s stark
C# C7
Her curtains are grey and her bedroom is dark
Fm A#m
C# picture of Mary hung up in the hall
C# C7
And the handcuffed cruisifixes starts from the wall
[Chorus]
Fm A#m
And she says “hey, why don’t you talk”
C# C7
I don’t wanna talk
Fm A#m
She says “boy, let’s take a walk”
C# C7
I never wanted to walk
[Post-Chorus]
Fm A#m C# C7
you got the devil in this house
Fm A#m C# C7
[Verse 2]
Fm
All her paintings are slashed
A#m
And the wallpapers’ torn
C#
Mirrors are smashed,
C7
they've been thrown to the floor
Fm
The doors are all locked
A#m
And the handles don’t turn
C#
The ceiling is black
C7
Where the candles have burned
[Chorus]
Fm A#m
And she says “hey, you never smile”
C# C7
I don’t need to smile
Fm A#m
She says “boy let’s say a prayer”
C# C7
But there’s nobody there
[Bridge 1]
C#
Forget all your past
C7
And forget all your pain
C# C7
You’ll never ever ever see your Mother again
C#
My god I’m so scared
C7
And my palms are so moist
C# C7
Born to be hanged with the sound of her voice
[Bridge 2]
Fm
Can you see her now
A#m
Can you touch her now
C#
Can you taste her now
C7
This is not what I was expected
Fm A#m
These are not the eyes that I have visualised
C# C7
Not the skin that is wrapping up her body
[Bridge 2]
Fm
She could be anybody
A#m
She might be anybody
C#
She’s not just anybody
C7
I want to scream
[Bridge 1]
C#
She’s needing it worse
C7
She bit the side of her van
C#
I’m hiding in her garden
C7
All her flowers are dead
C#
I heard what she said
C7
And I heard all her prayers
C# C7
crying like a child in the corner of the stairs
[Outro]
Fm A#m C# C7
I got the devil in this house
Fm A#m C# C7
You got the devil in this house...
