Song: Building A Mystery
By:   Sarah McLachlan

[intro:] Bm  G  D  A

[verse: 1]
Bm               G
You come out at night
D                        A
That's when the energy comes
Bm                  G
And the dark sides light
D                 A
And the vampires roam
Bm                    G
You strut your rasta wear
D                 A
And your suicide poem
Bm                  G         D 
And a cross from a faith that died
        A                     Em
Before Jesus came
G                   A                    
You're building a mystery
{whole band kicks in}
Bm  G  D   A

[verse: 2]
Bm               G
You live in a church
D                           A
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Bm                 G
And you won't give up the search
D                     A
For the ghost in the halls
Bm                        G
You wear sandals in the snow
D                        A
When a smile won't wash away
Bm                     G
Can you look out the window
D                              A                         
Without your shadow getting in the way
Em
You're so beautiful
Gmaj7
With an edge and a charm, but
Em                         G       A
So Careful       when I'm in your arms

[chorus:]
Bm             G
Cause you're working
D             A
Building a mystery
Bm       G         D       A

Bm     G           D   A     A A 
And choosing so carefully

[verse: 3]
Bm                     G
You woke up screaming aloud
D                          A 
A prayer from your secret god
Bm                G
You feed off our fears
D                   A 
And hold back your tears, oh
Bm               G
You give us a tantrum
D                  A
And a know it all grin
Bm                G
Just when we need one
D                A
When the evening's thin
Em
You're a beautiful
Gmaj7
a beautiful fucked-up man
Em
You're setting up your
G            A
razor wire shrine

[chorus:]
Bm             G
Cause you're working
D             A
Building a mystery
Bm       G    D      A
Holding on, and holding it in
Bm             G

D            A
Building a mystery
Bm     G     D   A
And choosing so carefully
