Building A Mystery

Sarah McLachlan

Bm  G  D2  A add6
                  Bm                       G D2             A          add6
           You come out at night     when the energy comes
           And the dark side's light, and the vampires roam
           You strut your rasta wear, and your suicide poem
           And a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came
                                                                                                     E add4
                                  G               A             Bm  G  D2  A add6
                       You're building a mystery

           You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls
           And you won't give up the search for ghosts in the halls
           You wear sandals in the snow, and a smile that won't wash away
           Can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way

                     E      add4                                       G
                       Oh, you're so beautiful, with an edge and a charm
                     E       add4          G                          A
                       But, so careful when I'm in your arms

                                  Bm                    G             D2             A        add4
                                     Cause you're working, building a mystery
                                     Holding on, and holding in
                                     Yeah you're working, building a mystery
                                     And choosing so carefully
                                                                                  add4 add4 add4

           You woke up screaming aloud, a prayer from your secret god
           You feed off our fears, and hold back your tears
           Give us a tantrum and a know it all grin
           Just when we need one when the evening's thin

                     Oh, you're beautiful, a beautiful fucked up man
                     And your setting up your razor wire shrine

                                     Cause you're working, building a mystery
                                     Holding on, and holding in
                                     Yeah you're working, building a mystery
                                     And choosing so carefully
                                                        *Interlude*   G A G G E   G A G G

                  E                                     G               A        add4
                     Oooh you're working, building a mystery

                                     Holding on, and holding it in
                                     Yeah you're working, building a mystery
                                     And choosing so carefully

                                     Yeah you're working, building a mystery
                                     Holding on, and holding it in
                                     Yeah you're working, building a mystery
                                     And choosing so carefully

                         Bm  G             D2             A
                                     You're building a mystery...
