[Am]
[F]
[Am] Last girl's dad's one with a defect, [F] still a plain straight brat, [C] so correct.
[G] [Am] Let dogs under [F] legal necks, [Am]
she looks so good that he gets [F] down in her [F] neck.
[C] She's watching her detectives, [G] ooh, it's so cute.
[C] She's watching her detectives, [G] and it's [Em] cute, [F] cute, [D] cute, [Am] cute.
She's beating up until the teardrops [Em] start, [F]
but it can't do wounded, cause she's got [C] good heart.
[G]
[A] A long [Em] shot at that jumping [C] sign, [F]
visible shivers running down my [G] [Am] spine.
You got the baby taking off her [F] clothes, cause never the sanest, deadly never [G] [A] blow.
Is that your junior [E] manager's [F] cigarette?
She pulls her eyes out with her face like a [G] magnet.
[A]
I don't know how much more of this I [F]
can take.
[G] [A]
[E] She's filing her nails while they're [F] dragging the lake.
[C] She's watching her detectives, [G] ooh, it's so cute.
[C] She's watching her detectives, [G] and it's cute, cute, [D] cute, [Am]
cute.
She's beating up until the teardrops start, [F] but it can't do wounded, cause she's [C] got good heart.
[G]
[A] You think you're alone until you realize you're in it [F] now.
Fear is here to stay, love is here for [G] everything.
[Am] Calling it the jet with a fat man, big lemon, [F] lemon scratching at the window.
I wonder who it is [A] that's better than you, the jump detective, you belong to the parents.
[F] You are ready to hear the worst about that daughter's disappearance.
[A] Go and steal it to the miracle and get you to sleep.
[F] You don't have my little fingers to blow [C] you away.
Just [G] like what you love, the detectives [D] [C] don't get cute.
Just [G] like what you love, the detectives, [Am]
get some angry women until the teardrops start,
[F] but it can't do wounded, cause you've got [C] good heart.
