(no chords in first verse)
In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
There’s 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 you’re all alone there’s a noise upstairs
At the top of the stairs there’s a door so you take a deep breath and try it
And the Fflashlight shows you Csomething moving Dmjust inside the Amdoor
There’s Fa tattered dress and Ca feeling you havDe felt somewhere Ebefore....
[ chorus ]
Am And there’s a creepy dollF, That always follows you
G It’s got a ruined eye, That?Gb??sG al-waAbys.A. o-pen
Am And there’s a creepy dollF, That always follows you
G It’s got a pretty mouth, To swGballGow.. yAbou Awhole
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 there’s Ea 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 it’s late and yoEu head downstairs
Cause you Cjust can’t sleep so yoDu make some tea
F And the doll disapCprovingly asks if you Dreally need that much Ehoney
Am You decide that you’vEe 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 there’Dms nothing you caAmn do
And Ffar too late you Csee the one Dinside the box is Eyou
[ repeat chorus ]
