A                  C#m
It must be nice to disappear
D                 Dm
to have a vanishing act
A                  C#m
to always be looking forward
D                 Dm
and never looking back
A                  C#m
How nice it is to disappear
D                 Dm
float into a mist
A                  C#m
with a young lady on your arm
D                 Dm
looking for a kiss
A                  C#m
It might be nice to disappear
D                 Dm
to have a vanishing act
A                  C#m
to always be looking forward
D                 Dm
never look over your back
A                  C#m
It must be nice to disappear
D                 Dm
float into a mist
A                  C#m
with a young lady on your arm
D                 Dm
looking for a kiss
A                  C#m
It must be nice to disappear
D                 Dm
to have a vanishing act
A                  C#m
to always be moving forward
D                 Dm
and never looking back
A                  C#m
How nice it is to disappear
D                 Dm
float into a mist
A                  C#m
with a young lady on your arm
D                 Dm
looking for a kiss
A                  C#m
Looking for a kiss
