(no chords in first verse) In a town in the woods at the top of a hill ThereâЂ™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 youâЂ™re all alone thereâЂ™s a noise upstairs At the top of the stairs thereâЂ™s a door so you take a deep breath and try it F C Dm Am And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door F C D E ThereâЂ™s a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before.... [ chorus ] Am F And thereâЂ™s a creepy doll, That always follows you G F# G Ab A ItâЂ™s got a ruined eye, ThatâЂ™s al-ways.. o-pen Am F And thereâЂ™s a creepy doll, That always follows you G F# G Ab A ItâЂ™s got a pretty mouth, To swallow.. you whole Fmaj7 Am E So you scream and you close the door C D And you tell yourself it was just a dream F C D E In the morning you head into town cause you want to go.. antiquing Am E In the store thereâЂ™s a strange old man C D With a wandering eye and a withered hand F C D E When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking Fmaj7 C Dm Am And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see F C D E That someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key [ repeat chorus ] F C Dm Am And when you come home late the doll is waiting up for you F C Dm Am And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too F G F G The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed F G Fmaj7 G C The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy F D7 F Am E Now itâЂ™s late and you head downstairs C D Cause you just canâЂ™t sleep so you make some tea F C D E And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey Am E You decide that youâЂ™ve had enough C D And you lock the doll in the wooden box F C D E You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money Fmaj7 C Dm Am As the smoke fills up your tiny room thereâЂ™s nothing you can do F C D E And far too late you see the one inside the box is you [ repeat chorus ]
