Am     Am  G
Mystery
F      G               C       C Dm Em
All my life has been a mystery 
F       G                 C          C#dim7
You and I were never ever meant to be
Dm                   G7             C
That's why I call my love for you a mystery

Am                Am G
Different country 
F              G                           C        C Dm Em
You and I have always lived in a different country 
F                         G                C         C#dim7
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree 
Dm              G7                 G         Eb7
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see 
F             G                    C
That much at least is not really a mystery

Estuary 
F           G                 C      C Dm Em
I live in a houseboat on an estuary 
F                     G                             C        C#dim7
Which is handy for my work with the Thames Water Authority
Dm                        G7           C          Am7
But I know you would have found it insanitary 
    Cmaj7
Insanitary…

Am                            Am G
Taken a violent dislike to me
F                   G             C       C Dm Em
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility 
F                          G                   C       C#dim7
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me 
Dm                        G7           C
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see

Am              Am  G
Dead since 1973
F           G                             C          C Dm Em
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see 
F         G                  C    C#dim7
Fifthteen years come next January 
Dm         G7            C        C7
As a human being you are history 

F                     G7/F
So why do why I still long for you? 
Em                A7/C#
Why is my love so strong for you? 
Dm                   G7
Why did I write this song for you? 
                          C       F      Abmaj7    Bb
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
