Intro   Bm      D


  Bm         D                    Bm
I think this place is full of spies
  D
I think they're onto me
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room


Bm       D


Bm                    D                   Bm                 D------->
I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know

D-------------->
And so and now I'm sorry I missed you
D-------------->
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my...

brain
Bm                   G                   D          A
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
Bm                   G                   D
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
            A
And now I'm sorry I missed you
  Bm                          G              Bm       D
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain


Bm        D


  Bm         D                Bm
I think this place is full of spies
  D------------->
I think I'm ruined
D----------->
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
D----------->
Didn't anybody tell you, this river's full of lost sharks


Bm     D

If you want to add a more colourful sense of harmony to the song (though I wouldn't 
overusing it with just an acoustic),
instead of playing  D  -  A  -  Bm  -  G

try

D/A  -  A  -  Bm  -  G/B
