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]Who're you gonna [Em7]talk to if you [C+2]can't tell [C+2]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] Keep your [G]hands where I can [C+2]see them
Dsus4 (fill #2) Em7 Dsus4
So I don't have to shoot
[C+2] There's a smoking pistol [Dsus4]at your side
[G] But you [Dsus4]swear it's not the [C+2]one
Where'd you hide the [G]body?[Dsus4]
Where'd you get the [Em7]gun?[C+2]
Where'd you hide the [G]body?[Dsus4]
Where'd you get the [Em7]gun?[C+2]

VERSE 2:
When cornered you complain about the state of your career
You look intently straight ahead, pretending I'm not here
And you look me in the eye and say it's not about us
You tell me I'm so silly to be making such a fuss
So everything's okay except you're nervous as a cat
What's it say about me if you think I'd fall for that?
CHORUS 2:
Where'd you hide the body?
Where'd you stash the loot?
Keep your hands where I can see them
Maybe I won't shoot
There's a smoking pistol at your side
And you swear it's not the one
Where'd you hide the body?
Where'd you get the gun? (fill #3 on C+2 chord)

CHORUS 3:
Where'd you hide the body?
Where'd you ditch the gun?
Keep your hands where I can see them
Make no attempt to run
You used to always throw me off your trail
But I guess those days are through
Where'd you hide the body?
What's consuming you?
OUTRO:
Where'd you hide the [G]body?[Dsus4]
What's consuming [Em7]you?[Em7] [Em7] [Em7] [G]
