Mystery

Intro: C  F  E

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

(Riff)

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

(Riff)

Am
Estuary
F           G                 C
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
 F                      G               C
Which is handy for my work with the Port Authority
F                        G             C
But I know you would have found it insanitary
C       Am   C      Am
Insanitary… Insanitary…

(Riff)

Am
Hate me
F                  G             C
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
 F                          G                     C
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me
F                           G              C
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see

(Riff)

Am
Dead since 1993
F               G                                C
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see
F                   G        C
Fourteen years come next January
F           G                C
As a human being you are history

F                       G
So why do why I still long for you?
 C                   Am
Why is my love so strong for you?
F                       G
Why did I write this song for you?

Well, I guess it's just a mystery
C        Am
Mystery
