Am 
Nice girls, not one with a defect 
F 
Cellophane shrink wrap, so correct 
Am                      F 
Red dogs under illegal legs 
Am                                      F 
She looks so good that he gets down and begs 


         C 
She is watching the detectives 
      G 
"Ooh, he's so cute" 
C 
Watching the detectives 
G               C      F      D 
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot 
Am                                           G 
They beat him up until the teardrops start 
F                                         C    G 
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart 


Am 
Long shot of that jumping sign 
F 
Visible shivers running down my spine 
Am                      F 
Cut to baby taking off her clothes 
Am                                      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                                      F  
I don't know how much more of this I can take 
Am                                   F 
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake 

(Chorus) 

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 scrathing 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 
It only took my little fingers to blow you away 


C                G 
Just like watching the detectives, 
C 
Don't get cute 
G 
Watching the detectives, 
Am                                       G  F  
I get so angry when the teardrops start                                          
                                        C 
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart 
G                         F 
Watching the detectives, 
Am                         F 
Watching the detectives

When Elvis does it live, he sometimes does this in the end: 


 Am                                F                                Am
