[INTRO]
| A E B F# |
| C# F# G D |

A          E
Always the true one,
B         F#
calm, selective,
C#           F#             G         D
staking a claim among the young defectives,
A       E           B        F#
far off under the nighttime, baby,
C#           F#
      G     D 
crawl into the wave. 

A           E
Got to be cool now,
B     F#
unprotected, 
C#           F#        G         D    
you come around every day to collect me,
A       E          B        F#
far off into the nighttime, baby,
C#          F#
       G     D
crawl into the wave. 

[CHORUS]

Come on, give it to me. 

B          D      E
Yes, those mystery hours. 
B          D      E
Yes, those mystery hours.


A    E       B     F#
But officers, the rumbling,
C#      F#         G        D
the sound of the collective crumbling, 
A     E       B    F#
around to the ground
C#        F# 
G         D
surrender the town.

A     E    B    F#
I call out the numbers, 
 
C#     F#          G       D      A
  the rumble of collected thunder today, 
E     B     F#    C#     F#
hey - ey  - e y
    G        D
the wages are down.
