  Intro: C F G G#
  
  C              G#
   The vanishing spies
  D                 G 
   Just something I read
  G#           C
   A couple of eyes
  F                *C/E  E
   From out of the head
  D                 G
   And all that was said
      C               F                 G          G#
  Was that's just how some things don't materialize
  C              G#
   Could be they broke
  D                G
   And swam like a bird
  G#                    C
   Fear of spooking the folk
  F                 *C/E    E
   With talk of the third
  D             G               C
   Or maybe the third, played a joke
  F          G
   Give me a blip
  F                 G    C  A  C
   And I'll totally flip 
  F                     G
   Say it's nothing but sky
  F              G      Am  C  A
   And I'll be a lonely guy
  C              G#
   The vanishing spies  
  D                 G 
   Just something I read
  G#                  C
   Now there were two eyes
  F                  *C/E   E
   Sent out from the head
  D                 G
   And all that was said
  C                    F                  G         G# 
  Was that is just how some things do not materialize
 
 C-A-C-A-C-A-C-A 
 
 F                   G
   Give me one little blip
  F                 G    C A C
   And I'll totally flip
  F                     G
   Say it's nothing but sky
  F              G          Am
   And I will be one lonely guy
