Mystery of Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]The
city gates at twilight
And a red ship [Am]sinking
[G]Be hind winter[C]'s grey [G]wall[D]
[G]Ice in the wind
But a fire in the embers
Of my heart
[C]As darkness fal[G]ls[Am]

[Verse 2]
In [G]a candlelit room
Where your eyes [C]are laughing
[G]Smoking [C]in the red[G] cha[D]ir
And [G]nothing in the world
'Cept the beating [C]of my heart
[G]Against the [C]nerves of the air
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
And I [G]know there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
'Cause [C]I taste it on [G]your lips[D]
And [G]I feel a weight
That can bend me double
[C]You lift it with your [G]fin[Am]gertips

[Verse 4]
So [G]often it happens
That words prove useless
[Am]In the face [C]of h[G]ow it fe[D]els
So it [G]is as the mystery of love
Keeps growing
[C]The more [D]my heart [G]reveals

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][G][C]
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
Tempta[G]tions endless whispers
Try to keep it in perspective
So [C]much to distract
[G]Wal[D]kin[G]g on a wire
While your juggling desire
It's all [C]part of your
[G]balancing [D]act

[Verse 6]
And it gets [G]hard to know
Just what you believe
As the [C]ar gument [G]rages [D]on
But for [G]all of the talk
It's only true to say
That if you [C]have no [Dsus4]hope
There [D]is [G]none

[Interlude 2]
[G][Bb][G][Bb][G][Bb]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 7]
A [G]tangle of tongues
Flesh flowers and thistles
Of [C]conscience, [G]spittle [D]and skin
We [G]can't change the past
So we'll raise this cup to our [C]lips
And drink [G]it all [D]in

[Verse 8]
And [G]meantime back in civilisation
The [C]rain [G]is cold as [D]steel[Dsus4]
[D]But the mys[G]tery of love
It just keep growing
The [C]more [D]my heart reveals

[Interlude 3]
[G][Bb]
[G][Bb][G][Bb][Dm][G]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 9]
As [G]sure as the rose
The [Em]bright day [G]blooms
[C]As surely still [G]it fades[D]
And the [G]night kindles stars
On [Em]empty [G]winds
[C]And ghosts along the
[G]colonnades[C][D]

[Verse 10]
[G]And slow but sure
[Em]The sands are fall[G]ing
[D]As the [C]bridge [G]burns
Beneath the [D]wheel
And the [G]mystery [D]of love
[Em]It just keeps growing
[G]The mor[C]e my [D]heart rev[G]eals
The [C]more [D]my [G]hea[C]rt[D][G][C][D][G]

[Outro 1]
reveals
