[Intro]
F C Bb Bbm F (x2)
[Verse 1]
F C Bb
From the moment that we met it’s been obvious to me that you’re adept,
F
At finding answers to hard questions,
F C
I’m far too squeamish, how can someone be this calm?
Bb F
When confronted with a crime scene that looks like an abattoir?
[Chorus]
Dm
I do not know,
Bb
Searching for evidence,
Dm
(I do not know)
Bb F
Hearing footsteps slowly creeping, this is getting much too tense,
G Bb
Come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out,
[Instrumental]
F C Bb Bbm F (x2)
[Verse 2]
F
I’ve had trouble sleeping,
C
Since that villain got away,
Bb
I keep dreaming that he’ll kill us,
F
And we’ll share a shallow grave,
F
There is no one I can trust,
C
And the cops are so corrupt,
Bb
All protected by the politicians,
F
In these wicked cults,
[Chorus]
D
It’s so unjust,
Bb
Searching for evidence,
Dm
(It's so unjust)
Bb
hearing footsteps slowly creeping,
F
this is getting much too tense,
G Bb Bbm
come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out,
F A Dm Bb
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, no second thought,
F A Dm Bb
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, to get them caught,
F A Dm Bb
Frankly you were born to lead your own detective agency,
F A Dm
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to,
Bb F
I’d take the case to you.
[Instrumental]
F G Bb Bbm
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Slaughtering the dissidents,
Dm Bb F
Now the coroner is waiting, this is getting much too tense,
G Bb Bbm
Come on gumshoe be the one to
F
Help me out.
[Outro]
G Bb Bbm F
Come on gumshoe be the one to help me out. (help me out) (x4)
