INTRO

A5   C#5    D5      E5      A5    F#5    E5

VERSE 1
                A5
I thought I was smart
                 C#5
I thought I was right
             D5             E5          
I thought it better not to fight
                      A5         F#5          E5
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
           A5            C#5   
So when it came time to fight
            D5           E5
I thought I'd just step aside
         A5                    F#5       E5                A5
And that time would prove you wrong and you would be the fool
                                                    (I don't know)   

CHORUS
             C#5               D5            E5
Where the sun beams  and the star lights begin
           A5     F#5    E5  
It's all a mystery

VERSE 2
A5                   C#5
Oh to fight is to defend 
             D5
And if it's not
              E5                 A5                    F#5              E5
Then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man
         A5            C#5            D5
For to lose I could accept but to surrender
         E5                       A5            
I just wept and regretted this moment 
F#5     E5
Oh that I 
           A5
I was the fool
(I don't know)

CHORUS
           C#5                  D5            E5
Where the sun beams and the star lights begin
             A5     F#5    E5  
It's all a mystery
              A5        C#5                  D5                 E5
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
                A5     F#5    E5  
It's all a mystery.

VERSE 3
              A5           C#5
'Cause I'm a man- not a boy
                 D5                 E5
And there are things you can't afford
                   A5
You have to face them
             F#5                   E5
When you're not prepared to face them
           A5       C#5
And if I could I would
                 D5               E5
But you're with him I'll do no good 
                  A5
I should have fought him ,
        F#5           E5
But instead I let him
             A5
Let him take you
(I don't know)

CHORUS
           C#5                  D5            E5
Where the sun beams and the star lights begin
            A5     F#5    E5  
It's all a mystery
              A5        C#5                  D5                 E5
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
                A5     F#5    E5  
It's all a mystery.

A5   C#5    D5     E5     A5    F#5   E5

             A5      
It's all a mystery
              F#5              E5
(That you'd stand up and be a man)
              A5        C#5                  D5                 E5
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
                A5  
It's all a mystery.
              F#5             E5
(When you're not prepared to face them )
A5                      C#5                 D5             E5
I don't know where the sun beams and the star lights begin
             A5      
It's all a mystery
           F#5               E5
(But instead I let them take you)
A5        F#5            E5
                     Mystery
