Mystery

Dmaj9                       
Each time you'd pull down the 
  G
driveway
              D     -      Dsus4   
I wasn't sure when I would see you 
  D
again
            Em7                 
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided 
     G  -  A7sus4
highway
                D      -      Gm   
No matter which road you took then
  D


       Dmaj9                  
Oh you set up your place in my 
    G
thoughts
                     D     -  
Moved in and made my thinking 
    Dsus4     D
crowded
                      Em7          
Now we're out in the back with the 
            D/F#
barking dogs
                 G                 
My heart the red sun, your heart 
       A7sus4      A7
the moon clouded



           G                    
I could go crazy on a night like 
   A
tonight
                   D   -    D/C#   
When summer's beginning to give up 
    Gmaj7/B
her fight
               G                 A
And every thought's a possibility
               D     -    D/C#     
And voices are heard, but nothing 
  D7/C
is seen
           G                      A
Why do you spend this time with me
          G  -  A      D - Dsus4   D
May be an equal mystery



Dmaj9                         G
So what is love then
Continues after the ad
              D     -      Dsus4
Is it dictated or chosen (handed 
     D
down or made by hand)
            Em7                 
Does it sing like the hymns of a 
     G  -  A7sus4
thousand years
                D      -      Gm 
Or is it just pop emotion (handed 
    D
down or made by hand)

Dmaj9                         G
And if it ever was there, and it 
left
              D     -      Dsus4   
Does it mean it was never true
  D

            Em7                    
And to exist it must elude
  D/F#

                 G                 
Is that why I think these things of
       A7sus4      A7
 you



           G                    
I could go crazy on a night like 
   A
tonight
                   D   -    D/C#   
When summer's beginning to give up 
    Gmaj7/B
her fight
               G                 A
And every thought's a possibility
               D     -    D/C#     
And voices are heard, but nothing 
  D7/C
is seen
           G                      A
Why do you spend this time with me
          G  -  A      D - Dsus4   D
May be an equal mystery



                     C9
Oh, but you like the taste of danger
   G                 D   -   Dsus4
It shines like sugar on your lips
      D

                  C9               
And you like to stand in the line 
    G
of fire
              Em7                  
Just to show you can shoot straight
           D7/C
 from your hip
                G                  
There must be a thousand things you
       Gm
 would die for
      D  -   D/C#     Gmaj7/B
I can hardly think of two
                   Em7             
But not everything is better spoken
   D/F#
 aloud
              G             A7sus4
Not when I'm talking to you
    A7



        Dmaj9                      
Oh, the pirate gets the ship and 
         G
the girl tonight
                      D   -    
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Dsus4     D

               Em7                 
Basking in the exploits of her 
 G  -  A7sus4
thief
               D    -     Gm     D
She's a very good listener

                 Dmaj9             
And maybe that's all that we need 
     G
is to meet in the middle
          D  -  Dsus4    D
Of impossibility
             Em7
Standing at opposite poles
      G      -      A        D  -  
Equal partners in a mystery
Dsus4     D

                   Em7
We're standing at opposite poles
      G      -      A       D  -  
Equal partners in a mystery
Dsus4    D  -  Dsus4    D  -  Gm

    D.
