The Great Mystery

[Verse 1]
Fm            Eb                  Ab
  How could I let it get this far?
       Bbm            Fm       Gbsus4
To the edge I've been drawn by promises
Gb Ab              Eb/G
     What's the reason
           Fm   F       Bbm
For a heart  to only misguide me
Ab        Gb
Blind me, tear myself apart?
Fm                   Eb                 Ab
  When darkness falls  and silence talks
       Bbm     Ab           Gbsus4   Gb
At the edge of thoughts you memorized
Ab             Eb/G                 Fm
  I'm the truth    between the lines
     F          Db     Ab        Eb
They read and deny me, tie me to fantasy
            Gb
And they'll curse this darkest hour
F                      Bb
 When in oblivion I'll die

[Verse 2]
                Gb/Bb
Oh will you make     me turn the page,
           Bb
one after another
        Gb/Bb                              Db
If only you  would make a mark the eye can see
                   A/C#
You're dancing in around
Through the dark you long to find
Db                        Eb
  A light at the midnight sky
F
To persuade the night

[Chorus]
Bb F/A            Gm
   Don't leave me blind,
F               Eb
give me one sign
Bb/D              F                           Bb
Grant me just one look into the mystery behind
F/A      Gm      F                 Eb
Fire and flames, heartache and pain
    Bb/D                  F                     Cm7
You break me just to make me feel like a golden child

[Post-Chorus]
                           Eb
What if it's nothing but a dream

[Interlude]
               Bb Ab Bb         Eb F
The great mystery,   great mystery

[Verse 3]
G5             Bb5 G5           Bb5
Carry the flame    to accelerate
    A5 G5        Bb5   G5
The evolution of an age
C5 G5            Bb5 G5           Bb5
   Cast your eyes    into the crystal
A5    G5 Bb5 Ab5
 ball –    alright
      G5             Bb5     G5               Bb5
We embrittle the weak   that isn't meant to be
      A5    G5        Bb5   G5
We're gonna make it coronate
C5    G5         Bb5
  the chosen ones
    G5                   Bb5   A5  G5  Bb5 Ab5
Who never sinned against their vocation

  Don't be afraid: just look around
D5 Eb5 D5 Eb5 D5 Eb5
D5      Gm                     Eb         Bb
  Don't question what your eyes  can't see

[Chorus]
F/A            Gm     F               Eb
Don't leave me blind, give me one sign
Bb/D              F                           Bb
Grant me just one look into the mystery behind
F/A      Gm      F                 Eb
Fire and flames, heartache and pain
     Bb/D              F
I've borne from my devotion

[Bridge]
  Bb          Ebm
Oh  she won't see me,
C/E          Fm
   she won't feel me
Db                  Eb
  She's lost on her own, and so am I?

[Verse 4]
Db        Bbm                 Ab
  I see a cold moon rise above  those empty streets
Db          Bbm                 Ab
  And I see movements part their  lives
Fm           Db              Eb                 Ab
  I hear the ticking leaving scars you can't conceal
Fm         Db
  Ain't it poignant how you try
Eb
Db  Bbm7              Ab
  Impatiently they're giving up on hearts
Fm      Eb                Db
  Whose signs they cannot read
Bbm7                   Db
    As silence doesn't talk,
 Eb           Ab
eternity will cease

[Verse 5]
Eb                            Ab
  And as you marvel at the artwork in your hands
Cm7            Ab
Rich in detail,  so frail and beautiful
Eb
  And you forget the rules
    Ab
The elder's always made up for you
Cm7                    Ab
   To save you precious  time
Eb
  You watch them pile up,
         Ab
they are saving on and on
Cm7  Ab       Eb               Bb
Even you don't  know where they  store it all
Eb                           Ab
  You've got to be a fool if you don't save along
  Cm7      Ab
A thousand screaming
Eb      Bb                     Cm7       Ab
  And silence doesn't speak to thousands screaming
Eb      Bb                  F
  No, silence doesn't wanna speak…

Am                              Bb
  And I see tears shed over days  when all was good
F              C
 A child didn't care for what never really mattered

Ab      Eb/G                Fm
  I see tears shed over days
                      Db
When all was good and time
           Ab/C         Eb
They had a lot to give away
Ab           Eb/G               Fm
  When their hearts had eyes to see
                     Db
And the final mystery
    Ab/C             Eb
Was more than a fancy  tale
Ab    Bb              Cm7
  And answers you did find
             Db7M             Eb
To dare what you would find inside, no

[Chorus]

Fire and flames, heartache and pain
    Bb/D                  F                          Bb
you break me just to make me feel like a golden child
F/A            Gm     F               Eb
Don't leave me blind, give me one sign
Bb/D              F                           Bb

Fire and flames, heartache and pain
    Bb/D                 F                      Bb   Ab Eb Ebm
You break me just to make me feel like a golden child
