Watching the detectives

When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start
C G
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart

Long shot of that jumping sign
F
Visible shivers running down my spine
Am
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
F
Close up of the sign that says, "We never close"
Am
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarette
F
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
Am
I don't know how much more of this I can take
F C
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake ...
Am
You think you're alone, until you realize you're in it
F
Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit
Am
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
F
Someone's scratching at the door, I wonder who is it?
Am
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
F
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
Am
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
F C
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
G
Just like watching the detectives,
C
Don't get cute

Watching the detectives,
Am GF
I get so angry when the teardrops start
C
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
G AF Am
Watching the detectives, Watching the detectives
