Creepy Doll  Jonathan Coulton

(no chords in first verse)
In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
Thereā??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 youā??re all alone thereā??s a noise upstairs
At the top of the stairs thereā??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] 
Thereā??s a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before....
( chorus )
[Am] [F]  
And thereā??s a creepy doll, That always follows you
[G] [Gb] [G] [Ab] [A] 
Itā??s got a ruined eye, Thatā??s al-ways.. o-pen
[Am] [F]  
And thereā??s a creepy doll, That always follows you
[G] [Gb] [G] [Ab] [A] 
Itā??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 thereā??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
[F(maj7)] [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 itā??s late and you head downstairs
[C] [D]  
Cause you just canā??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 youā??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
[F(maj7)] [C] [Dm] [Am] 
As the smoke fills up your tiny room thereā??s nothing you can do
[F] [C] [D] [E] 
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you
( repeat chorus )
