Intro: Em Bm C x2
  Em
I dragged this lake looking for corpses

Bm                  C
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards

Em
Pieces of planes and black box recorders

Bm         C
Don't lie (don't lie)

              Em
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses

Bm                  C
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences

Em
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect

Bm              C
That has no alibi
Em Bm C
    Em
And New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven

Bm                      C
I watched flies fuck on Channel 11

Em
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink

Bm                              C
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink

    Em
And there's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore

Bm                         C
There's no reason to call, I passed out on the floor

Em                                        Bm     C
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry

            G
But at the right place at the right time

        Bm                         D
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine

        G
I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit

    Em        D
For anyone but me

        G
At the right place at the right time

       Bm               D
It'll be worth it to stand in line

                G
You won't have to stop saying "I love cops" 

     Em        D
for anyone but me

             Em   Bm C  
Your private eye
