[Verse]
Am                Fadd9
You come out at night
C                                        G
that's when the energy comes
Am                   Fadd9
and the dark side's light
C                       G
and the vampires roam
Am                  Fadd9
you strut your rasta wear
C                 G
and your suicide poem
Am                 Fadd9
and a cross from a faith
                    C      G    D
that died before Jesus came
F                        G
you're building a mystery

[Verse 2]
Am             Fadd9
You live in a church
C                         G
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Am                         Fadd9
and you won't give up the search
C                            G
for the ghosts in the halls
Am                       Fadd9
you wear sandals in the snow
C                                G
and a smile that won't wash away
Am                             Fadd9
can you look out the window
C                                         Fadd9
without your shadow getting in the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
oh you're so beautiful
Fadd9
with an edge and a charm
Dm
but so careful
Fadd9                  G
when I'm in your arms

[Chorus]
Am
'Cause you're working
Fadd9
building a mystery
C
holding on and holding it in
         G
yeah you're working
Fadd9
building a mystery
C                            G
and choosing so carefully

[Verse 3]

Am                            Fadd9
You woke up screaming aloud
C                     G
a prayer from your secret god
Am                  Fadd9
you feed off our fears
C                              G
and hold back your tears

Am           Fadd9
Give us a tantrum
C                        G
and a know it all grin
Am                Fadd9
just when we need one
F                      G
when the evening's thin

[Bridge]
Dm
Oh you're a beautiful
Fadd9
a beautiful fucked up man
Dm
you're setting up your
Fadd9                          G
razor wire shrine
