From the album

[Intro]

C F G G#



[Verse]

C               G#        D             G
  The vanishing spies       Something I read

G#             C           F                   C
   A couple of eyes          Sent out from the head

D                  G
  And all that was said

     C           F                       G          G#
Well that's just how some things don't materialize

C               G#        D                 G
  Could be they broke       And swam like a bird

G#                     C       F                  C
  Fear of spooking the folk      With talk of the third

D              G            C
  Or maybe the third made a joke.



[Chorus]

F           G         F                G        C      Am  C
  Give me a blip, ah, and I'll totally flip, ah   yeah       yeah

F                     G    F               G          Am  C  Am
 Say it's nothing but sky,   and I'll be a lonely guy



[Verse]
C             G#        D             G
The vanishing spies       Something I read

G#                 C    F                   C
Now there were two eyes   Sent out from the head

D                G
But all that was said

     C            F                        G          G#
Well that is just how some things do not materialize



[Chorus] (same)
