Private Eye Tabs & Lyrics by Alkaline Trio
Private Eye
guitar tabs lyrics
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
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 C
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 fucked up shit
Bm Am
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"
Bm Am
for anyone but me
Your private eye

Your private eye
