Verse 2
She (F major) (A minor) is (C major) watching the detectives
Ooh, (G major) he's so cute
She is (C major) watching the detectives
When (G major) they shoot, (E minor) shoot, (F major) shoot, shoot (D major)
(A minor) They beat him up until the teardrops start (G major)
(F major) But he can't be wounded
'cause he's got no (C major) heart
(G major)
Verse 3
(A minor) Long shot at that jumping sign (F major)
Invisible shivers running
down my spine (A minor)
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
(F major) Close-up of of the sign that says,
"We never close"
(A minor) He snatched at you and
you match his cigarette
(F major) She pulls the eyes out with
a face like a magnet
(A minor) I don't know how much
more of this I can (F major) take
(A minor) She's filing her nails while
they're dragging (F major) the lake
Verse 4
She (F major) is (C major) watching the detectives
Ooh, (G major) he's so cute
She is (C major) watching the detectives
Oh, when (G major) they shoot, (E minor) shoot,
(F major) shoot, (A minor) shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
(F major) But he can't be wounded 'cause
he's got no (C major) heart
(A minor) (G major)
Verse 5
(A minor) You think you're alone until
you realize you're in it
Now fear (F major) is here to stay,
love is here for a visit
(G major) They call (A minor) it instant justice when
it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching (F major) at the window,
I wonder who is it?
The de (A minor) tectives come to check if
you belong to the parents
Who are ready (F major) to hear the worst about
their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly (A minor) took
a miracle to get you to stay
It only took (F major) my little fingers
to blow you away
(C major)
Verse 6
Just like (G major) watching the detectives
(C major) Don't get cute
It's just like (G major) watching the detectives
(A minor) Oh, I get so angry when
the teardrops start (C major)
(F major) But he can't be wounded 'cause
he's got no (C major) heart
Verse 7
(C major)
(G major) Watching the detectives (A minor)
It's just (C major) like (F major) watching the detectives
(A minor) Watching the detectives
(F major) Watching the detectives
Verse 8
(F major) (A minor)
Watching the detectives
They're watching (F major) the detectives
They're (A minor) watching the
de (E minor) tectives (A minor)
(F major) Watching the detectives
(A minor)
