This is my first submission of guitar chords for any of the websites.
I like this song and couldn't find it's chords since the song was released which is 
almost year and half now. So I decided to do it myself.
As I said, it's the first try so don't judge harshly and if any mistake is found I'd be 
glad to be pointed to it.
No bar versions of chords sound better (at least to my ear, which may prove faulty) 
except F in the end.
Intro:
Em C D
 Who is iEmn that hCouse?D  
 I opened Emthe door tCo seeD  
 Who is Emup the sCtairs?D  
 I’m walking up EmfoolCishlyD  
 And at the end of the Ghall was a dEmoor
 And I got Ampulled in by a sound
 But I Dwish I’d never found
 In the Cprivacy Dof your own Emroom
 Where fClowers in the Dwallpaper Embloom
 Where CI just Ddon’t underAmstandEm  
 In the Cprivacy of your Groom
 Look Emaway now, look Caway now
 At the Ammoon
 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
 CPuzzle me now with Gmystery clothes
 These Dapples I love, these Fapples I loath
 And Galways forgive the future to come
 For Dstealing the light from the sun
Outro:
Em C D

This is my first submission of guitar chords for any of the websites.

I like this song and couldn't find it's chords since the song was released which is

almost year and half now. So I decided to do it myself.

As I said, it's the first try so don't judge harshly and if any mistake is found I'd be

glad to be pointed to it.

No bar versions of chords sound better (at least to my ear, which may prove faulty)

except F in the end.

Intro:

Em C D

Who is in that house?

Em C D

I opened the door to see

Em C D

Who is up the stairs?

Em C D

I’m walking up foolishly

G Em

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

C D Em

In the privacy of your own room

C D Em

Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom

C D Am Em

Where I just don’t understand

C G

In the privacy of your room

Em C

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

C G

Puzzle me now with mystery clothes

D F

These apples I love, these apples I loath

And always forgive the future to come

For stealing the light from the sun

Outro:

Em C D
