Private Eye (ver2) Chords - Alkaline Trio






Intro: Em Bm C x2

  Em
I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Bm    C
Dusted for prints, 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
BmC
That has no alibi

Em Bm C

    Em
And New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
BmC
I watched flies f**k on Channel 11
Em
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
BmC
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
    Em
And there's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore
Bm   C
There's no reason to call, I passed out on the floor
Em  Bm C
Smoked myself stupid and 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 f****d up s**t
    Bm      Am
For anyone but me
G
At the right place at the right time
       BmD
It'll be worth it to stand in line
G
You won't have to stop saying "I love cops" 
     Bm        Am
for anyone but me

Your private eye
