Intro   B5      D5


  B5         D5                    B5
I think this place is full of spies
  D5
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


B5       D5


B5                    D5                   B5                 D------->
I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know

D-------------->

brain
B5                   G5                   D5          A5
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
B5                   G5                   D5
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
            A5
And now I'm sorry I missed you
  B5                          G5              B5       D5
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain


B5        D5


  B5         D5                B5
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


B5     D5


B5                    D5                   B5              D5

B5                   G5                   D5        A5
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
B5                   G5                   D5
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way

B5                   G5                   D5
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way

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  D5  -  A5  -  B5  -  G5

try

D5  -  A5  -  B5  -  G5
