C
It's a mystery night
F                        Dm
Like a sawed-off shot gun
                         C             G
In the morning light it comes to anyone

And the things they're tied to
My love's behind you
Colored by the snow
The shine is gone

            F                 Dm
I used to know what made you wet
        C             G
Now I'm searching for it
C             F                  Dm
Cause it's a mystery all the same
        C       G
Not to get you back

Chorus:
Am      F
On holiday
       Dm          Am
With a broken camera
           F
And all I say
       Dm             Am
Is "I could be happier"
    G            C
I could be happier

It's a mystery night
And I thought we had fun
But in the morning light
Your car's already gone
Do the things I wanna do
Not the ones I'm supposed to
Why can't I get close to
The man I saw in me
When I was young

Chorus:
On holiday
With a broken camera
And all I say
Is "I could be happier"
And all I say
Is "I could be happier"

C
All up the way
Em          F                           Dm
I'm free of all the shadows that follow me
C                   Em
Of all the branches up to break
     F
With all my faith
Destiny and fate
C                   Em          F
Cause I never wanna go there tonight
The cameras, cameras
C             Em          F
I never wanna open up my eyes
                        Am G
The cameras, the cameras
Dm
No cameras
          Am
No cameras

E     Am                       Em
Cause I never wanna go there tonight
              G           D
I never wanna open up my eyes
