 [Am]Nice girls, not one with a defect
 [F]Cellophane shrink wrap, so correct
 [Am]Red dogs under illegal l[F]egs
 [Am]She looks so good that he gets down and [F]begs

 She is [C]watching the detectives
 "Ooh, [G]he's so cute"
 [C]Watching the detectives
 When they [G]shoot, [C]shoot, [F]shoot, [D]shoot
 [Am]They beat him up until the teardrops start   [G]  [F]
 But he can't be wounded cos he's got no he[C]art   [G]

 [Am]Long shot of that jumping sign
 [F]Visible shivers running down my spine
 [Am]Cut to baby taking off her clothes
 [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]I don't know how much more of this I ca[F]n take
 [Am]She's filing her nails while they're dragging t[F]he lake  ... 

 [Am]You think you're alone, until you realize you're in it
 Now [F]fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit
 They [Am]call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
 Someone's [F]scratching at the door, I wonder who is it?
 The de[Am]tectives come to check if you belong to the parents
 Who are [F]ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
 Though it [Am]nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
 It only [F]took my little fingers to blow you a[C]way
                  
 Just like [G]watching the detectives,
 [C]Don't get cute
 [G]Watching the detectives,
 [Am]I get so angry when the teardrops start [G]  [F]
 But he can't be wounded cos he's got no he[C]art

 [G]Watching the detectives,  [Am]        [F]Watching the detectives   [Am]
 [F]
