Verse 1 (N.C for most of the verse so these are implied by the melody)
(Am) (E) (C)
In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
(D)
There's a house where no one lives
(F/C) (C) (D) (E)
So you take a big bag of your big city money there, and buy it
(Am) (E)
Then at night when the house is dark
(C) (D)
And you're all alone there's a noise upstairs
(F/C) (C) (D) (E)
At the top of the stairs there's a door so you take a deep breath and try it
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door
F/C C D E
There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am Fmaj7add11/C
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
Verse 2
Am E
So you scream and you close the door
C D
And you tell yourself it was just a dream
F/C C D E
In the morning you head into town cause you want to go antiquing
Am E
In the store there's a strange old man
C D
With a wandering eye and a withered hand
F/C C D E
When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see
F/C C D E
That someone carved your name into the tarnished silver key
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
Bridge
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And when you come home late the doll is waiting up for you
F/C C Bm7b5 Am
And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too
F/C G F/C G
The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed
F/C G F/C G C
The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy
|F/C |D7 |F/C |
Verse 3
Am E
Now it's late and you head downstairs
C D
Cause you just can't sleep so you make some tea
F/C C D E
And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey
Am E
You decide that you've had enough
C D
And you lock the doll in the wooden box
F/C C D E
You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money
F/C ) C Bm7b5 Am
As the smoke fills up your tiny room there's nothing you can do
F/C C D E
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you
Chorus
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am
It's got a ruined eye, that's always open
Am Fmaj7/C
And there's a creepy doll, that always follows you
G D G E Am Fmaj7add11/C
It's got a pretty mouth, to swallow you whole
