  Who is in  that house?
  I opened the  door to  see
  Who is up  the stairs?
  I’m walking up  foolishly
  And at the end of the hall  was a door
  And I got pulled  in by a sound
  But I wish  I’d never found
  In the privacy of  your own room
  Where flowers  in the wallpaper bloom
  Where I  just don’t  understand
  In the privacy  of your room
  Look away  now, look away  now
  At the moon
  Is somebody watching me?
  You really shouldn’t see
  Why did you climb that last stair
  You found me unaware
  What I’m doing now it’s my own
  And I don’t want it to be known
  And it has to just remain
  In the privacy of my own room
  Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
  Where you just don’t understand
  In the privacy of my room
  Look away now, look away now
  At the moon
  Puzzle  me now with mystery  clothes
  These apples  I love, these apples  I loath
  And always  forgive the future to come
  For stealing  the light from the sun

[Em] [C] [D]

 Who is i[Em]n that h[C]ouse?  [D]
 I opened [Em]the door t[C]o see  [D]
 Who is [Em]up the s[C]tairs? [D]
 I’m walking up[Em] fool[C]ishly  [D]

 And at the end of the [G]hall was a d[Em]oor
 And I got [Am]pulled in by a sound
 But I [D]wish I’d never found

 In the [C]privacy [D]of your own [Em]room
 Where f[C]lowers in the [D]wallpaper [Em]bloom
 Where [C]I just [D]don’t under[Am]stand  [Em]
 In the [C]privacy of your [G]room
 Look [Em]away now, look [C]away now
 At the [Am]moon

 Is somebody watching me?
 You really shouldn’t see
 Why did you climb that last stair
 You found me unaware

 What I’m doing now it’s my own
 And I don’t want it to be known
 And it has to just remain

 In the privacy of my own room
 Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
 Where you just don’t understand
 In the privacy of my room
 Look away now, look away now
 At the moon

 [C]Puzzle me now with [G]mystery clothes
 These [D]apples I love, these [F]apples I loath
 And [G]always forgive the future to come
 For [D]stealing the light from the sun

[Em] [C] [D]
