  			Am          Em 
I can't pay attention 
B                   Em 
What slips into the system 
        Am                    Em 
A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep 
B                         Em 
Don't sympathize with the mystery disease 

----------------------------------------------------- 

It's pretty basic, follow the rest of the lyrics and play along! 

All it is, is a feeling 
Pain in a dress too revealing 
a lost bond 
an old friend who likes what it sees 
You can't shake off the mystery disease 

Lovers in a past life 
Meet in the street close to midnight 
a last look 
sweet like the end of a dream 
Then fall back into the mystery disease 

Go on, tell your symptoms to me 
It's not in any of the books you can read 
It's no fun to face what you don't get to be 
but what's one more to the mystery disease? 

Floating impatience 
snuffs my limited sapience 
Black smoke as soon as the pressure's released 
deep space sighs, the mystery disease 

Consumed by a weakness 
cut with perpetual unrest 
You see stars, sunsets blurred through the trees 
trap what you want 
waste what you need 

And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves 
emperors of history fall to their knees 
Small fronds can't see the wood for the trees, 
left in the dust of the mystery disease.
