Intro: Dm Em F x2
  Dm
I dragged this lake looking for corpses

Em		    F
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards

Dm
Pieces of planes and black box recorders

Em	   F
Don't lie (don't lie)

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

Em		    F
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences

Dm
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect

Em		F
That has no alibi
Dm Em F
    Dm
And New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven

Em			F
I watched flies fuck on Channel 11

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

Em				F
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink

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

Em			   F
There's no reason to call, I passed out on the floor

Dm					  Em	 F
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry

	    C
But at the right place at the right time

	Em			   G
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine

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

    Em	      Dm
For anyone but me

	C
At the right place at the right time

       Em		G
It'll be worth it to stand in line

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

     Em        Dm
for anyone but me
Your private eye Dm Em F
