Track 3 of 10 on the album "Uncharted Mind" (1993) [Intro] Am D Am D [Verse 1]
     Am                      G                          Am
The door stood wide open, he knew there was something wrong

                             E
He ran through the house and found that she was gone

   Am                              G                  Am
It looked like a Texas twister had cut a path through there

   G                             E
He found these words in lipstick on the bathroom mirror
[Chorus]
          Am                     D
There's a snake in the house and he's been shedding skin

Am             E
Leaving behind signs of where he's been

Am                                 G                   Am
Now, I'm telling you, if it's the last thing that you do

          G              E            Am    D
There's a snake in the house, get it out
Am D [Verse 2]
     Am                       G                 Am
Now, right below these words, piled up in the sink

                                          E
He saw his shirt with lipstick on it, the color cheap and pink

        Am                     G                Am
And the bill from a room that he'd signed Mr. Smith

        G                             E
But the way he signs a dotted line is something she can't miss
[Chorus]
          Am                     D
There's a snake in the house and he's been shedding skin

Am             E
Leaving behind signs of where he's been

Am                                 G                   Am
Now, I'm telling you, if it's the last thing that you do

          G              E            Am
There's a snake in the house, get it out
[Bridge]
D                       Am
Ain't no way around it, it's the poison kind

D                                 E           Esus4  E
Just one bite could kill true love every time
[Chorus]
          Am                     D
There's a snake in the house and he's been shedding skin

Am             E
Leaving behind signs of where he's been

Am                                 G                   Am
Now, I'm telling you, if it's the last thing that you do

          G              E            Am
There's a snake in the house, get it out

                                     G                   Am
Now, I'm telling you, make this the last thing that you do

      E                     Am    D
And before I get back, get out
Am D Am
