 C        F           C        G              C
Darkness falls, and she, will take me by the hand;
         F                C
take me to some twilight land
      F                 C
Where all but love is grey,
      G                C
where I can't find my way;
     F             C   G
without her as my guide

 F                G
Night falls, I'm cast beneath her spell
 F                   G                 C
Daylight comes, our heaven's turns to hell
      F       C
Am I left to burn,
     G           C
and burn eternally;
         F          C G C
she's a mystery to me

Chorus:
         F       C  G C
She's a Mystery Girl
         F       C  G C
She's a Mystery Girl

In the night of love
Words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut
Like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart

She tears again my bleeding heart
I wanna run, she’s pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
And I just melt away
She’s a mystery to me

Chorus:
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

Haunted by her side
It’s the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind
Then I don’t want to see
She’s a mystery to me

Night falls, I’m cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally?
She’s a mystery to me

Chorus:
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl

She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
She’s a mystery girl
