Capo on 3rd Fret

(Verse 1)
Hey girl, open the walls
Play with your dolls
We’ll be a perfect family When you walk away

Is when we really play
You don’t hear me when I say
Mom, please wake up
Dad’s with a slut
And your son is smoking cannabis

(Pre-Chorus 1)
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
Don’t let them see what goes down in the kitchen

(Chorus)
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your
brother, won’t you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

(Post-Chorus)
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees

(Verse 2)
Hey girl, look at my mom
She’s got it going on
Ha, you’re blinded by her jewelry When you turn your back
She pulls out a flask

And forgets his infidelity Uh oh she’s coming to the attic, plastic
Go back to being plastic
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
Don’t let them see what goes down in the kitchen

(Chorus)
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother,
won’t you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

(Post-Chorus)
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees

(Breakdown)
Hey girl Hey girl, open your walls
Play with your dolls
We’ll be a perfect family

(Chorus)
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother,
won’t you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we’re perfect
Please don’t let them look through the curtains

(Post-Chorus)
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
