A great, catchy song, with excellent vocal rhythms for such a wordy song.  
In the verse, the third chord is marked "A", but when playing it, add in  
Asus4 and Asus2 as well - easily done: 
 
    A  Asus4  Asus2   Dmaj7 
 
 
Verse: 
D                   G                   A 
Bobby Fischer beat Spassky in Iceland in 72 
Bm                         A                            G               A 
I know a girl who's better looking but who thinks like Bobby Fischer too 
D                        G                      A 
When Bobby Fischer was a kid they knew he was a prodigy 
Bm                           A                       G 
I know a girl who's somewhat older but no less of an authority 
 
Bridge: 
Em               A 
I wish I had the smarts 
D                G 
To understand her charts 
Em              A 
If I dont concentrate 
D                     G      Gm   A 
She'll have me in checkmate 
 
Verse: 
D                     G                        A 
In Tampa Bay and Lafayette they all know Bobby Fischer's name 
Bm                         A                             G 
I knew a girl who made her mark in smaller cities but her fame's the same 
D                           G                           A 
When Bobby Fischer made his comeback in the 90's he was worse for wear 
Bm                       A                          G 
I know a girl who made a comeback but her mind was altogether there she said 
 
Bridge: 
Em                A 
I drink chocolate milk 
D            G 
from a cow I built 
Em          A 
do do do do do 
D           G    Gm   A 
do do do do do 
 
Chorus: 
D                              F#m 
They're all saying that you'll never play again 
            Bm                  
They're all saying that you're finished 
            F#m 
That you're washed up as a friend 
       Em                                      
All my life I've feather dusted

but thats not how it's going to end, oh no 
 
D                            F#m 
Spies in hideouts send their secret messages 
          Bm 
There's a thief caught in the headlights 
       F#m 
Of a car beneath a bridge 
           Em 
There's no light on in the house 
           G                            D     Dmaj7 
Except the light inside the fridge, oh yeah 
 
Bm                          F#m 
Reykjavik, no-one ever says Reykjavik in a song 
Bm                          F#m                 A 
Reykjavik, no-one ever says Reykjavik in a song

That you're washed up as a friend 
       Em                                      
All my life I've feather dusted  
              G                         D   Dmaj7

Spies in hideouts send their secret messages 
          Bm 
There's a thief caught in the headlights 
       F#m 
Of a car beneath a bridge 
           Em 
There's no light on in the house 
           G                            D     Dmaj7 
Except the light inside the fridge, oh yeah
