I Spy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I spy a boy
I [E]spy a girl
I [Am]spy the worst place
[E]In the world
In [Am]the whole wide world
Oh, you [Dm]didn't do bad
You [Am]made it out
I'm [Dm]still stuck here
Oh, but [E]I'll get out
Oh, yeah, I'll get out
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Can't you see the giant that walks around
you seeing through your petty [E]lives?
Do [Am]you think I do these things for real,
I do these things just so I survive
[E]

[Verse 3]
And you know I will sur[Am]vive
It [Dm]may look to the untrained eye
[Am]I'm sitting on my ass all day
I'm [Dm]biding time until I take you all [E]on

[Verse 4]
My Lords [E]and Ladies, I will prevail
I cannot fail 'cause I spy
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Oh I've got your numbers, taken notes
I know the ways your minds work,
I've studied
[E]

[Verse 6]
And [Am]your minds are just
the same as mine
Except that you are clever swines
You [E]never let mask slip, you never admit to it,
you're never hur[Am]ried
Oh, no, no, no

[Verse 7]
And [Dm]every night I hone my plan
How [Am]I will get my satisfaction
How [Dm]I will blow your paradise aw[E]ay away,
away
'Cause I spy
[Am]

[Verse 8]
And it's just like in the old days
I used to [D]compose my own
critical notices in my head
"The [Dm]crowd gasp at Cocker's
masterful control of the bicycle
[F#m]Skilfully avoiding the dog tu[D]rd
next [F]to the corner shop"

[Verse 9]
[F]Imagining [Dm]a blue [D]plaque
Above the place I first ever
touched a girl's [E]chest
But hold on
You've got [Am]to wait for the best
You see, you should take me seriously
[D]Very seriously

[Verse 10]
indeed.
Cause I've [Dm]been sleeping [F]with your
wife for the past sixteen weeks
[F#m]Smoking your cigarettes
Drinking your [D]brandy[F]
Messing up the bed that
you chose together
[Dm]And in all[D]

[Verse 11]
that time I just wanted you to come
[E]home unexpectedly one afternoon
And catch us at it [Am]in the front room
You see I spy for a living
And I spe[D]cialize in revenge
On [Dm]tak i[F]ng the things I know
will cause you [F#m]pain
I can't help it
I was dragged [F]up

[Verse 12]
My favorite parks are car [F]parks[Dm]
Grass is [D]something you smoke
Birds are something you [Am]shag[E]
Take your "Year in Provence"
and shove [Am]it up your ass

[Verse 13]
Your Ladbroke [Am]Grove looks turn me [E]on,
yeah
With roach [Am]burns in designer dresses
Skin stretched tight over
high cheek-bones
[E]An d And thousands of tiny dryness lines beating
[Am]a path to the corners of your eyes
And [Dm]every night I hatch my plan,
It's [Am]not a case of woman v man

[Verse 14]
It's [Dm]more a case of haves
[E]against haven'ts
And I just happen to have got
what you need
Just exactly what you [Am]need,
yeah

[Verse 15]
[Bbm]La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
In In In In In In In [F]In In In the midnight
hour.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bbm]I I I I I I I I I I wi[F]ll come to you
[Bbm]I will come to you
[Ebm]I will take you from this sickness
[Bbm]Dinner parties and champagne
I'll [Ebm]hold your body and
make it sing again

[Verse 16]
[F]Come on sing again, Let's sing again,
oh yeah, [Am]'cause I spy
Yes, I spy
I spy a boy
And I [E]spy a girl

[Verse 17]
[E]I s[Am]py the chance
To [E]change the world
To [Am]change your world
