A                     Dmsus7
Picture yourself, Set up for good in a whole other life
    A
In the mystery zone
A
Make us a house, Some far away town
    Dmsus7                A
Where nobody will know us well, Where your dad's not around
A
And all the trouble you look for all your life
      Dmsus7         A
You will find it for sure, In the mystery zone
A      FmajC
Times that we met
     GmajD    A
Before we met...hhmmm light on mister (?)
       FmajC GmajD
Times that we met...hmmmm
   A
We'll go there

   (F  *bass* G) Am and Asus(pluck through whole chorus)
To the mystery zone
   (F  *bass* G) Am and Asus
Ah the mystery zone

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

(*Another verse and chorus, same stuff)
