MYSTERY (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------
[Actually in D; capo 5.]
[These chords are just guesses; I'm not sure how to play it at all.
 Especially the bridge.]
[The Asus's might have a B in them as well, I think.  Maybe A and Asus
 are x07650 and x07700 (actually Asus4sus2).]
[All the D's might be D(9) or even D5.]

Amaj9    D(9)   A  -   Asus    A   -   Asus    Amaj9    D(9)    A - A+   A
[intro]        (Handed down or made my hand)

Amaj9                         D(9)
Each time you'd pull down the driveway
              A     -      Asus      A
I wasn't sure when I would see you again
            Bm7                      D
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway
                A         -        A+       A
No matter which road you took then

Amaj9                          D
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
              A     -      Asus      A
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
                      Bm7                      A
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
                 D                        Esus      E
My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded

           D                       E
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
                   A                   A
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
               D                E
And every thought's a possibility
               A                     A
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
           D                      E
Why do you spend this time with me
         D  -  E      A - Asus   A
Maybe an equal mystery

So what is love then, is it dictated or chosen
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years, or is it just pop emotion
And if it ever was there, and it left, does it mean it was never true
And to exist it must elude, is that why I think these things of you

But I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
Maybe an equal mystery

                    Dm
Oh but you like the taste of danger
   Dm                 A          A
It shines like sugar on your lips
                  Dm                     Dm
And you like to stand in the line of fire
             A                               A
Just to show you can shoot straight from the hip
                D                         Dm
There must be a thousand things you would die for
      A   -  E        F#m
I can hardly think of two
                      D                   ???
But not everything is better spoken aloud
              E             E
Not when I'm talking to you

Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief, she's a very good listener
And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility
Standing at opposite poles, equal partners in a mystery
We're standing at opposite poles, equal partners in a mystery
