[Intro] A C#m D E A F#m E [Verse 1]
                A
I thought I was smart

                 C#m
I thought I was right

             D             E
I thought it better not to fight

                      A         F#m          E
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool

      A            C#m
So it came time to fight

            D           E
I thought I'd just step aside

             A                    F#m             E                A
And that the time would prove you wrong and that you would be the fool
(I don't know) [Chorus]
             C#m                  D            E
Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

           A     F#m    E
It's all a mystery
[Verse 2]
A                   C#m
Oh to fight is to defend

             D
And if it's not

              E                 A                    F#m              E
Then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man

         A            C#m            D
For to lose I could accept but to surrender

         E                       A
I just wept and regretted this moment

F#m     E
Oh that I 

           A
I was the fool
(I don't know) [Chorus]
           C#m                    D            E
Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

             A     F#m    E
It's all a mystery

              A        C#m                  D                 E
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life

                A     F#m    E
It's all a mystery
[Verse 3]
              A           C#m
'Cause I'm a man- not a boy

                 D                E
And there are things you can't avoid

                   A
You have to face them

             F#m                   E
When you're not prepared to face them

           A       C#m
And if I could I would

                 D               E
But you're with him I'll do no good

                  A
I should have fought him,

        F#m           E
But instead I let him

             A
Let him take you
(I don't know) [Chorus]
           C#m                    D            E
Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

            A     F#m    E
It's all a mystery

              A        C#m                  D                 E
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life

                A     F#m    E
It's all a mystery
A C#m D E A F#m E [Chorus]
A                      C#m                    D             E
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

             A
It's all a mystery

              F#m              E
(That you'd stand up and be a man)

              A        C#m                  D                 E
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life

                A
It's all a mystery

              F#m             E
(When you're not prepared to face them)

A                      C#m                    D             E
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

             A
It's all a mystery

           F#m               E
(But instead I let them take you)

A        F#m            E
