when I write a love song I end up using "geopolitical" in the chorus so I guess that's all you need to know about me
lyrics
F C
Baby I thought you were the perfect girl
G C
Never knew someone like you could be a thing in this world
F C
But there’s something that’s bugging me, something wrong
G C
And I had to find out what was going on
Bm
See while you were loyal to little old me
G
You were a Benedict Arnold to my country, tis of thee
Chorus:
C Cmaj7
My Spy
C7 C6
With the love in her eyes
F C
Breaking all my geopolitical ties
C Cmaj7
My Spy
C7 C6
I wish that I knew why
F Cmaj7 C
And if you really meant to make me cry
F C
How could I have known that from the day we met
G C
You were trading around in government secrets
F C
Thought you were just curious about our national defense
G C
And now our love life and legal status is getting tense
Bm
Should have known from how you didn’t like to mention your career
G
That when you said you loved me you were really talking to your fuhrer
Chorus
Who exactly were you working for, darlin
Heard you whisperin in your sleep to your buddy Stalin
And I swore I was just going a bit insane
When you accidentally called me your sweetie Hussein
So if alien invaders destroy our planet
I’ll know it was you who planned it
Chorus
When you tell me that secret will I have to die?
