Synth Notes In Parentheses

Notes as they would appear on sheet music 
with bottom notes lower etc. 
Any note not stacked is a single note.
5 Indicates play the root and the 5th.

I have tried my best to indicate notation for the lead parts 
here, but if its confusing to anyone, send me a message and I will 
try and clear it up for you.

Under the pillow, behind the door.

There's a crack in the mirror.
Bb/C C                        (C7no5 then D note, Am then same D note)

cause you've taken someone elses girl,
Bb/C C                      Bb/C C
When they turn on the pillow,
                                   Bb/C C
Even when they answer the telephone,
                      Bb/C C
