Verse 1:
  Em
I dragged this lake
looking for corpses
Bm
Dusted for prints
C
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
            Bm
senses That sense DNA
   C
on barbed wire fences
Em
Maybe someday I'll 
find me a suspect
     Bm        C
That has no ali-bi


Interlude: Em--Bm-C- x2


Verse 2:
    Em
And New Year's Eve was
as boring as heaven
  Bm
I watched flies
        C
fuck on Channel 11
          Em
There was no one to kiss
there was nothing to drink
            Bm
Except some old rotten
             C
milk someone left in the sink
               Em
And there's no ring there's 
no ring on the phone anymore
           Bm
There's no reason to call
         C
I passed out on the floor
 Em
Smoked myself stupid and 
                 Bm     C
drank my insides raisin dry


Chorus 1:
           G
But at the right place 
at the right time
        Bm
I'll be dead wrong and
          D
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
It'll be worth it
    D
to stand in line
          G
You won't have to stop
saying "I love cops" 
       Em      D
for anyone but me
             Em Bm C Em Bm C
Your private eye
