"Building A Mystery" by Sarah McLachlan
CAPO: VII for the oiriginal, but I prefer V
[Intro]
Em Cadd9 G D
[Verse 1]
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
[Outro]
Em Cadd9 G D
(*No lyrics*)
Em Cadd9
(*Slowing down*)
G D Em
You're building a mystery
