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
tabchorus
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
