Private Eye Chords

Intro: Em Bm C x2
 
  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 senses
Bm                  C
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Em
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
Bm              C
That has no alibi
 
Em Bm C
 
    Em
And New Year's Eve 

was as boring as heaven
Bm                      C
I watched flies fuck on Channel 11
Em
There was no one to kiss, 

there was nothing to drink
Bm                          
Except some old rotten milk 
    C
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
 
            G
But at the right place at the right time
        Bm                         D
I'll be dead wrong and 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               D
It'll be worth it to stand in line
                G
You won't have to stop saying "I love cops" 
     Em        D
for anyone but me
             Em   Bm C
Your private eye

            G
Your private eye.
