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
        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?

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?
