--M6
M M7
You come out at night
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
That's when the energy comes
M M7
And the dark sides light
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
And the vampires roam
M M7
You strut your rasta wear
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
And your suicide poem
M M7 M6
And a cross from a faith that died
M6 M7 s
Before Jesus came
M7 M9-M9/
You're building a mystery
M M7
You live in a church
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
M M7
And you won't give up the search
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
For the ghost in the halls
M M7
You wear sandals in the snow
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
When a smile won't wash away
M M7
And can you look out the window
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
Without your shadow getting in the way
You're so beautiful
M7
With an edge and a charm, but
M7 M9 --M9/
So Careful when I'm in your arms
M M7
Cause you're working
M6 M9 --M9/
Building a mystery
M M7 M6 M-M9/
Holding on, holding it in
M M7
Yeah, you're working
M6 M9 --M9/
Building a mystery
M M7 M6 M9/M7/M9/M7/M9/M6
And choosing so carefully
M M7
You woke up screaming aloud
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
A prayer from your secret god
M M7
You feed off our fears
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
And hold back your tears, oh
M M7
You give us a tantrum
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
And a know it all grin
M M7
Just when we need one
M6 M9/M7/M9/M6
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
M7
A beautiful fucked-up man
You're setting up your
M7 M9 --M9/
razor, wire shrine
M M7
Cause you're working
M6 M9 --M9/
Building a mystery
