Crime Dramas Suck chords by Hank Green

Chords with lyrics

This is exactly how Hank plays it. It's pretty simple.

Intro: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Verse 1:
     C majorC           G+G
There's a place where you don't wanna be
    C majorC     G+G
Where people die constantly
     C majorC      G+G
And they never die in normal ways
     C majorC       G+G
It's preposterous but still cliche

Bridge 1:
     C majorC               G+G
When your drug dealer's aunt kills your mom in a duel
   C majorC	             NC
By chopping off her head with a scythe in a pool
    D MajorD
Well they're not saying it makes sense
    E MajorE
They're just interpreting the evidence

Chorus:
       C majorC        G+G
This is the plot to every television crime show
C majorC          C majorC                G+G
 From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store
  C majorC         G+G
The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes
C majorC            NC
 Will come back because you know he did it
C majorC                G+G
I don't think they're trying anymore
         C majorC
And I'm getting bored

Verse 2:
C majorC            G+G
There was semen all over the crime scene
      C majorC           G+G
So they use the super-fancy semen testing machine
    C majorC       G+G
And the DNA database gets a hit
    C majorC            G+G
But it looks like he might still get away with it

Bridge 2:
     C majorC        G+G
But the final piece of evidence
C majorC          C majorC
Totally stumps the bad guy's defense
  D MajorD
And he breaks down in front of everyone
  E MajorE
And tells them exactly how it was done

Chorus:
       C majorC        G+G
This is the plot to every television crime show
C majorC          C majorC                G+G
 From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store
  C majorC         G+G
The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes
C majorC            NC
 Will come back because you know he did it
C majorC                G+G
I don't think they're trying anymore
         C majorC
And I'm getting bored

Interlude: C majorC

Verse 3:
    C majorC      G+G
By the middle of the first season
C majorC            G+G
Murder is eclipsed by sexual tension
    C majorC           G+G
And I guess that probably happens a lot
    C majorC             G+G
Since crime-solving people are always so hot

Bridge 3:
      C majorC        G+G
But then a serial killer kidnaps the girl
      C majorC             C majorC
And they promise to save her if it costs them the world
      D MajorD
And they find her two seconds before she dies
      E MajorE
And they hug and they laugh and they screw and they cry

Chorus:
       C majorC        G+G
This is the plot to every television crime show
C majorC          C majorC                G+G
 From CSI to Columbo and I think you know what's in store
  C majorC         G+G
The guy we met in the first fifteen minutes
C majorC            NC
 Will come back because you know he did it
C majorC                G+G
I don't think they're trying anymore
         C majorC
And I'm getting bored
*End on C*

That was a one-taker... take one-r... one... one-i-fier...
