Verse 1
G
I used to be a spy
Em D G
I used to be a real enigmatic guy
G
I travelled on the trains
Em D G
I travelled with my collar turned up in the rain
G
I had a little gun
Em D G
And I followed on the heels of those on the run
G
And they never got away
Em D G
There always was a price and the price got paid
Chorus
C D
I used to be a spy
Em D G
I used to be a real enigmatic guy
Verse 2
G
Before I met you
Em D G
And before all the shit that you put me through
G
I thought love would prevail
Em D G
But you had me running round chasing my own tail
G
I couldn't even spy
Em D G
I always was conspicuous no matter how I tried
G
I was pissing in the wind
Em D G
So desperate I resorted to going through your bin
Chorus
C D
I used to be a spy
Em D G
Spying with my little enigmatic eye

Verse 3
G
But that was way back then
Em D G
Back when I was fatter and my hair weren't quite as thin
G
But you made me look a fool
Em D G
So I took my little gun and put an end to you
G
Now they hunt me every day
Em D G
They hunt me like a dog but I always get away
G
Cause I'm a slippery little worm
Em D G
Living off my wits now the worm has turned
