VERSE 1:

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

You look across the table with those guilty eyes

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

So many mornings now, I shouldn't be surprised

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

When you lash out at me and you scream out in the night

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

What could you have done to get in such an awful fright?

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

Is it all that bad that you think I shouldn't see?

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 C+2

Who're you gonna talk to if you can't tell me?

CHORUS 1:

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (with fill #2)

Where'd you hide the body?

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (fill #2)

Where'd you stash the loot?

Dsus4 G C+2

Keep your hands where I can see them

Dsus4 (fill #2) Em7 Dsus4

So I don't have to shoot

C+2 Dsus4 Em7

There's a smoking pistol at your side

G Dsus4 C+2

But you swear it's not the one

G

Where'd you hide the body?

Dsus4 Em7

Where'd you get the gun?

C+2 G

Where'd you hide the body?

Dsus4 Em7 C+2

Where'd you get the gun?

VERSE 2:

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

When cornered you complain about the state of your career

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

You look intently straight ahead, pretending I'm not here

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

And you look me in the eye and say it's not about us

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

You tell me I'm so silly to be making such a fuss

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 G (fill #1)

So everything's okay except you're nervous as a cat

Dsus4 Em7 C+2 C+2

What's it say about me if you think I'd fall for that?

CHORUS 2:

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (with fill #2)

Where'd you hide the body?

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (fill #2)

Where'd you stash the loot?

Dsus4 G C+2

Keep your hands where I can see them

Dsus4 Em7 Dsus4

Maybe I won't shoot

C+2 Dsus4 Em7

There's a smoking pistol at your side

G Dsus4 C+2

But you swear it's not the one

G Dsus4

Where'd you hide the body?

Em7 C+2

Where'd you get the gun?

G Dsus4

Where'd you hide the body?

Em7 C+2

Where'd you get the gun?

CHORUS 3:

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (with fill #2)

Where'd you hide the body?

Dsus4 G C+2 Dsus4 (fill #2)

Where'd you ditch the gun?

Dsus4 G C+2

Keep your hands where I can see them

Dsus4 Em7 Dsus4

Make no attempt to run

C+2 Dsus4 Em7

You used to always throw me off your trail

G Dsus4 C+2

But I guess those days are through

G Dsus4

Where'd you hide the body?

Em7 C+2

What's consuming you??

OUTRO:
