this chord [Aadd9: x07600] is played over the A repeatedly during the song


intro: A    C#m    D    E2    A    F#m    E


verse:
                A                       C#m
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right

             D             E2          
I thought it better not to fight

                      A         F#m          E
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool

           A            C#m               D               E2
so when it came time to fight - I thought I'll just step aside

         A                    F#m       E                A...
and that time would prove you wrong and you would be the fool...


chorus:
        ...A              C#m                   D            E2
...I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin

           A     F#m    E  
It's all a mystery


verse: as before

Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wet and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool

chorus: as before
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

bridge: D    E

chorus: as before
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

end on an A, plus Aadd9
