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 that died 

G      D        A 
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 1]
Am                   Cadd9
You're so beautiful with an edge and a charm

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

G          D
Building a mystery

Em                Cadd9
                Holding on 

G            D
       And holding it in

Em               Cadd9
    Yeah you're working

G          D
Building a mystery

Em                 Cadd9
            And choosing 

 G  D
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            A
  When the evening's thin
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                   Cadd9
Oh you're beautiful, a beautiful fucked up man

    Am                 Cadd9 D
you're setting up your razor wire shrine.
[Chorus] x3
Em              Cadd9
   Cause you're working

G          D
Building a mystery

Em                Cadd9
                Holding on 

G            D
       And holding it in

Em               Cadd9
    Yeah you're working

G          D
Building a mystery

Em                 Cadd9
            And choosing 

 G  D
So carefully

You're building a mystery
