AmNice girls, not one with a defect FCellophane shrink wrap, so correct AmRed dogs under illegal lFegs AmShe looks so good that he gets down and Fbegs
CH:
She is waCtching the detectives "GOoh, he's so cute" CWatching the detectives GWhen they shoot,C shoot,F shoot,D shoot AmThey beat him up until the teardrops start G FBut he can't be wounded cos he's got no heCart G
Long shot of that jumping sign Visible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Close up of the sign that says, "We never close" You snatch a tune, you match a cigarette She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake ... (CH) You think you're alone, until you realize you're in it Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scrathing at the door, I wonder who is it' The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away
C Just like watGching the detectives, CDon't get cute GWatching the detectives, AmI get so angry when the teardrops start G FBut he can't be wounded cos he's got no heCart
GWatching the detectives, C Watching the detectives
