[Strophe]
Am 
 Nice girls, not one with a defect 
F                                      ( G ) 
 Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct 
Am                      F 
 Red dogs under illegal legs 
Am                                       F      ( Am ) 
 She looks so good that he gets down and begs
[Refrain]
       C 
She is watching the detectives 
       G 
"Ooh, he's so cute" 
       C 
She is watching the detectives 
G                Em     F      D 
 When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot 
Am                                           G 
They beat him up until the teardrops start 
F                                          C      G 
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
[Strophe]
Am                               ( G ) 
 Long shot at that jumping sign 
F                                        ( G ) 
 Invisible shivers running down my spine 
Am                                      ( G ) 
 Cut to baby taking off her clothes 
F 
 Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"
[Strophe]
Am                                              ( G ) 
 He snatches at you and you match his cigarette 
F 
 She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet 
Am                                 F 
I don't know how much more of this I can take 
Am                                   F 
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
[Refrain]
        C 
She is watching the detectives 
        G 
"Ooh, he's so cute" 
C 
 She is watching the detectives 
G                Em      F      D 
 When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot 
Am                                           ( G ) 
They beat him up until the teardrops start 
F                                          C      G 
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
[Strophe]
Am 
 You think you're alone until you realize you're in it 
    F 
Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit 
Am 
Call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit 
F 
Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder who is it?
[Strophe]
    Am 
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents 
        F 
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance 
       ( G )   Am 
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay 
        N.C.                                C 
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
[Refrain]
          G 
Just like watching the detectives 
C 
 Don't get cute 
               G 
It's just like watching the detectives 
Am                                          ( G ) 
I get so angry when the teardrops start 
F                                          C 
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart 
G 
 Watching the detectives
[Outro]
