[Intro] Em Cadd9 G D [Verse 1]
   Em                    Cadd9
   You come out at night

   G               D
   that's when the energy comes

   Em                       Cadd9
   and the dark side's light

   G                D
   and the vampires roam

   Em             Cadd9
   you strut your rasta wear

   G                D
   and your suicide poem

   Em                 Cadd9
   and a cross from a faith

             G      D     A
   that died before Jesus came

   C                 D
   you're building a mystery
[Verse 2]
   Em            Cadd9
   You live in a church

   G                    D
   where you sleep with voodoo dolls

   Em                          Cadd9
   and you won't give up the search

   G                     D
   for the ghosts in the halls

   Em                Cadd9
   you wear sandals in the snow

   G                       D
   and a smile that won't wash away

   Em                    Cadd9
   can you look out the window

   G                                  Cadd9
   without your shadow getting in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am
   oh you're so beautiful

   Cadd9
   with an edge and a charm

   Am
   but so careful

   Cadd9             D
   when I'm in your arms
[Chorus]
   Em            Cadd9
   'Cause you're working

   G         D       Em
   building a mystery

   Cadd9
   holding on

    G  D
   and holding it in

   Em          Cadd9
   yeah you're working

   G          D       Em
   building a mystery

       Cadd9    G  D
   and choosing so carefully
[Verse 3]
      Em                  Cadd9
   You woke up screaming aloud

     G               D
   a prayer from your secret god

      Em              Cadd9
   you feed off our fears

   G                D
   and hold back your tears

      Em        Cadd9
   Give us a tantrum

     G               D
   and a know it all grin

      Em             Cadd9
   just when we need one

     G               D
   when the evening's thin
[Pre-chorus]
   Am
   Oh you're a beautiful

   Cadd9
   a beautiful fucked up man

   Am
   you're setting up your

   Cadd9 D           Em
   razor wire shrine
