A Dmsus7
Picture yourself, Set up for good in a whole other life
A
In the mystery zone
A
Make us a house, Some far away town
Dmsus7 A
Where nobody will know us well, Where your dad's not around
A
And all the trouble you look for all your life
Dmsus7 A
You will find it for sure, In the mystery zone
A FmajC
Times that we met
GmajD A
Before we met...hhmmm light on mister (?)
FmajC GmajD
Times that we met...hmmmm
A
We'll go there
(F *bass* G) Am and Asus(pluck through whole chorus)
To the mystery zone
(F *bass* G) Am and Asus
Ah the mystery zone
A
There goes the rider, At gates of dawn
Dmsus7 A
He takes no prisoners at all, He'll be there on his own
A
What gets him going, Off down that road
Dmsus7 A
Is something he don't understand, ooo the mystery zone
A
Maybe all he wants, Maybe all he needs
Dmsus7
Is to know that the sun don't set
A
On the mystery zone
A FmajC GmajD A
How come it feels so familiar When you never been there?
A FmajC GmajD A
How come it seems so unreachable You never tried to find
A (F *bass* G) Am and Asus
Never tired to find the mystery zone
(F *bass* G) Am and Asus
Mystery zone, oooh
(*Another verse and chorus, same stuff)
