Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C][Bm]

[Verse 1]
I [Em]dragged this lake looking for corpses
[Bm]Dusted for prints, [C]pried up the floorboards
[Em]Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't [Bm]lie, (don't [C]lie)
And I've been [Em]preoccupied
with these sick, sick senses
That [Bm]sense DNA on [C]barbed wire fences
[Em]Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That [Bm]has no al[C]i-bi

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I [Bm]watched flies fuck on [C]channel eleven
There was [Em]no one to kiss,
there was nothing to drink
Except some [Bm]old rotten milk
someone [C]left in the sink
And there's no [Em]ring, no ring
on the phone anymore
There's no [Bm]reason to call
I passed [C]out on the floor
[Em]Smoked myself stupid
and drank my insides [Bm]raisin [C]dry

[Chorus 1]
But at the [G]right place at the right time
I'll be [Bm]dead wrong and you'll be [D]just fine
And I won't [G]have to quit doing fucked up shit
For [Em]anyone but [D]me
And at the [G]right place at the right time
It will have [Bm]been worth it to [D]stand in line
And you won't [G]have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for [Em]anyone but [D]me

[Interlude 2]
Your private
[Em](eye)[Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]

[Verse 3]
I [Em]dragged this lake looking for corpses
[Bm]Dusted for prints, [C]pried up the floorboards
[Em]Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't [Bm]lie, (don't [C]lie)
And I've been [Em]preoccupied
with these sick, sick senses
That [Bm]sense DNA on [C]barbed wire fences
[Em]Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That [Bm]has no ali-[C]bi

[Chorus 2]
At the [G]right place at the right time
I'll be [Bm]dead wrong and you'll be [D]just fine
And I won't [G]have to quit doing fucked up shit
For [Em]anyone but [D]me
And at the [G]right place at the right time
It will have [Bm]been worth it to [D]stand in line
And you won't [G]have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for [Em]anyone but [D]me
Your private [C]eye
[D]Your private eye

[Interlude 3]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]
[Em][Em][Bm][C]

[Chorus 3]
But at the [G]right place at the right time
I'll be [Bm]dead wrong and you'll be [D]just fine
And I won't [G]have to quit doing fucked up shit
For [Em]anyone but [D]me
And at the [G]right place at the right time
It will have [Bm]been worth it to [D]stand in line
And you won't [G]have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for [Em]anyone but [D]me
Your private [G]eye
