Picture yourself, Set up for good in a whole other life
       AIn (x02220@1)the mystery zone
AMake (x02220@1)us a house, Some far away town
       Dmsus7                                A (x02220@1)Where nobody will know us well, Where your dad's not around
A (x02220@1)                    
And all the trouble you look for all your life
            Dmsus7                 AYou (x02220@1)will find it for sure, In the mystery zone
A (x02220@1)          FmajC
Times that we met
         GmajD        ABefore (x02220@1)we met...hhmmm light on mister (?)

Times that we met...hmmmm  
      AWe'll (x02220@1)go there

A (x02220@1)                               
There goes the rider, At gates of dawn
            Dmsus7                     AHe (x02220@1)takes no prisoners at all, He'll be there on his own
A (x02220@1)           
What gets him going, Off down that road
             Dmsus7                      AIs (x02220@1)something he don't understand, ooo the mystery zone
AMaybe (x02220@1)all he wants, Maybe all he needs
          Dmsus7
Is to know that the sun don't set
         AOn (x02220@1)the mystery zone
A (x02220@1)         FmajC          GmajD       AHow (x02220@1)come it feels so familiar When you never been there?
A (x02220@1)         FmajC           GmajD         A (x02220@1)How come it seems so unreachable You never tried to find
A (x02220@1)                 (F   *bass* G) Amand (x02210@1)Asus (x02230@1)  
Never tired to find the mystery zone
