	Darkness falls and she 
	G			C 
Will take me by the hand 
 
Take me to some twilght land 
Where all but love is gray 
And I can't find my way 
Without her as my guide 
 
F			  G			   F 
Night falls, I'm cast beneath her spell 
				 G				C 
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell 
 
	F	   C		  G 
Am I left to burn and burn eternally 
She's a mystery to me 
 
She's a mystery girl 
A mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
A mystery girl 
 
And in the night of love 
Words tangled in her hair 
Words soon to disappear 
A love so sharp it cuts 
Like a switchblade through my heart 
Words tearing me apart 
 
F		 G					F 
She tears against my bleeding heart 
				 G				C 
Try to run but she's pulling me apart 
 
Fallin angel cries 
And I just melt away 
She's a mystery to me 
 
She's a mystery girl 
A mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeee's  a mystery girl 
 
Wanted by her side 
It's the darkness in her eyes 
That so inslaves me 
And if my love is blind 
Then I don't want to see 
She's a mystery to me 
 
Night falls, I'm cast beneath her spell 
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell 
 
Am I left to burn 
And burn eternally 
She's a mystery to me 
 
She's a mystery girl 
A mystery girl 
She's a mystery girl 
A mystery girl
