There's something awful in this house

Bad enough to tear it down

But if we're lucky, we can run it out
[Verso 1]
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
Yesterday you said you killed a monster
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
Said you found it in between the boards
Bb Dm E7 A
You chased it out from under the bed, told me I won't be scared again
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
So there's no room for crying any-more
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
First time I saw it in the broken mirror
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
I could not seem to lose its empty gaze
Bb Dm E7 A
And when I peered into its eyes, I feared that I was seeing mine
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
Even now the echo haunts my days
[Pré-Refrão]
Bb C F C/E Dm7
It's a noble profession; keeping the people safe
C* Bb C A7
Find me in confession, tearing away my face

There's something awful in this house
F
Bad enough to tear it down

Gm A7
We gotta hunt them down til we're alone
[Verso 2]
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
Yesterday you said you killed a monster
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
You say that they've been hiding in the walls
Bb Dm E7 A
You lined us up to peer inside, but I'm the one who saw what died
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
And now I don't know what to think at all
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
And when you make us look into the mirror
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
And ask us what reflection we can see
Bb Dm E7 A
It isn't hard to glance aside, and see no one has horns like mine
Dm C Bb A7 A7/C#
It's fine because the monster isn't me
[Pré-Refrão]
Bb C F C/E Dm7
It's a noble profession; keeping the children safe
C* Bb C A7
Find me in confession, tearing away my face
[Refrão]

There's something awful in this house

Confiteor Deo, miserere mei

Mea culpa mea maxima culpa

Confiteor Deo, miserere mei

And if I act like I'm fine and upstanding

Will you forget where the hammer is landing?

I don't wanna be a horror show, I don't mean to be cruel

But if you hate my mirror, is that more 'bout me or you?
