intro: Asus4-A-Asus4Bm G D6 A-Asus4-A
Bm G D A-Asus4-A

Verse:
Bm G
You come out at night
D6 A-Asus4-A
that’s when the energy comes
Bm G
and the dark side’s light
D6 A-Asus4-A
and the vampires roam
Bm G
you strut your rasta wear
D6 A-Asus4-A
and your suicide poem
Bm G
and a cross from a faith
D6 A-Asus4-A
that died before Jesus came
E G Asus4-A-Asus4 E and G kinda fast, and then
strum the A-Asus4-A fast>
you’re building a mystery

Bm G D A-Asus4-A

Bm G
You live in a church
D6 A-Asus4-A
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Bm G
and you won’t give up the search
D6 A-Asus4-A
for the ghosts in the halls
Bm G
you wear sandals in the snow
D6 A-Asus4-A
and a smile that won’t wash away
Bm G
can you look out the window
D6 A-Asus4-A
without your shadow getting in the way
E
oh you’re so beautiful
G
with an edge and a charm
E
but so careful
G Asus4-A-Asus4
when I’m in your arms

(Chorus)
Bm G D
A-Asus4-A
‘Cause you’re working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you’re working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

Repeat first Verse.

You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears

Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening’s thin

Oh you’re a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you’re setting up your
razor wire shrine
