(no chords in first verse)
In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
Thereâs a house where no one lives
So you take a big bag of your big city money there.. and buy it
Then at night when the house is dark
And youâre all alone thereâs a noise upstairs
At the top of the stairs thereâs a door so you take a deep breath and try it
And the Fflashlight shows you Csomething moving Dmjust inside the Amdoor
Thereâ?F?s a tattered dress aCnd a feeling you Dhave felt somewheEre before....
[ chorus ]
Am And thereâs a creepy dFoll, That always follows you
G Itâs got a ruined eye, ThGbat?G?sAb alA-ways.. o-pen
Am And thereâs a creepy dFoll, That always follows you
G Itâs got a pretty mouth, ToGb swGallow.Ab. yAou whole
Fmaj7
Am So you scream and you Eclose the door
And you Ctell yourself it was Djust a dream
F In the morning you Chead into town cause you Dwant to go.. anEtiquing
Am In the store thereâ?E?s a strange old man
With a Cwandering eye and a Dwithered hand
F When he hands you the Cold wooden box you can Dhear his old bones Ecreaking
And you F(maj7)know what you will Cfind inside the Dmmoment that you Amsee
That Fsomeone carved your Cname into the Dtarnished silver Ekey
[ repeat chorus ]
And Fwhen you come home Clate the doll is Dmwaiting up for Amyou
And Fwhen you fix a Csnack the doll says Dmit would like one Amtoo
The Fdoll is in your Ghouse and in your Froom and in your Gbed
The Fdoll is in your Geyes and in your Fmaj7arms and in your Ghead and you are Ccrazy
F D7 F
Am Now itâs late andE you head downstairs
Cause you Cjust canât sleep soD you make some tea
F And the doll disapCprovingly asks if you Dreally need that much Ehoney
Am You decide that youâEve had enough
And you Clock the doll in the Dwooden box
F You put the box in the Cfireplace next to your Dbag of big city Emoney
As the F(maj7)smoke fills up your Ctiny room thereâ?Dm?s nothing youAm can do
And Ffar too late you Csee the one Dinside the box is Eyou
[ repeat chorus ]
