Mystery
F G C C Dm Em
All my life has been a mystery
F G C C#dim7
You and I were never ever meant to be
Dm G7 C
That's why I call my love for you a mystery
[Riff] (first chord is an arpeggio)
Bm7b5 Am/E E7
Am Am G
Different country
F G C C Dm Em
You and I have always lived in a different country
F G C C#dim7
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
Dm G7 G Eb7
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
F G C
That much at least is not really a mystery
[Riff] (first chord is an arpeggio)
Bm7b5 Am/E E7
Am Am G
Estuary
F G C C Dm Em
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
F G C C#dim7
Which is handy for my work with the Thames Water Authority
Dm G7 C Am7
But I know you would have found it insanitary
Cmaj7
Insanitary…
[Riff]
Bm7b5 E
Am Am G
Taken a violent dislike to me
F G C C Dm Em
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
F G C C#dim7
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have hated me
Dm G7 C
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see
[Riff]

Am Am G
Dead since 1973
F G C C Dm Em
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see
F G C C#dim7
Fifthteen years come next January
Dm G7 C C7
As a human being you are history
F G7/F
So why do why I still long for you?
Em A7/C#
Why is my love so strong for you?
Dm G7
Why did I write this song for you?
C F Abmaj7 Bb
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
C
