[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[C][F][Am][F]
[Am][F]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Nice [Am]girls,
not one with a defect
[F]Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so so correct
[G]Red[Am] dogs under illegal legs[F]
[Am]She looks so good that he
gets down an[F]d begs

[Verse 2]
[F]She [Am]is watch[C]ing the detectives
Ooh, [G]he's so cute
She is [C]watching the detectives
When [G]they [Em]shoot, [F]shoot, shoot, [D]shoot
[Am]They beat him up until the teardrops start[G]
[F]But he can't be wounded
'cause he's got no [C]heart
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Long shot at that jumping sign[F]
Invisible shivers running
down my [Am]spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
[F]Close-up of of the sign that says,
"We never close"
[Am]He snatched at you and
you match his cigarette
[F]She pulls the eyes out with
a face like a magnet
[Am]I don't know how much
more of this I [F]can take
[Am]She's filing her nails while
they're drag[F]ging the lake

[Verse 4]
[F]She is [C]watching the detectives
Ooh, [G]he's so cute
She is [C]watching the detectives
Oh, when [G]they [Em]shoot, shoot,
[F]shoot, sho[Am]ot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
[F]But he can't be wounded 'cause
he's got no [C]heart
[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]You think you're alone until
you realize you're in it
Now [F]fear is here to stay,
love is here for a visit
[G]They [Am]call it instant justice when
it's past the legal limit
Someone's [F]scratching at the window,
I wonder who is it?
The de[Am]tectives come to check if
you belong to the parents
Who [F]are ready to hear the worst about
their daughter's disappearance
Though [Am]it nearly took
a miracle to get you to stay
It only [F]took my little fingers
to blow you away
[C]

[Verse 6]
Just like [G]watching the detectives
[C]Don't get cute
It's just like [G]watching the detectives
[Am]Oh, I get so angry when
the teardrops [C]start
[F]But he can't be wounded 'cause
he's got no [C]heart

[Verse 7]
[C]
[G]Watching the [Am]detectives
It's just [C]like [F]watching the detectives
[Am]Watching the detectives
[F]Watching the detectives

[Verse 8]
[F][Am]
Watching the detectives
[F]They're watching the detectives
They're [Am]watching the
de[Em]tect[Am]ives
[F]Watching the detectives
[Am]
