Mystery Of Love chords by David Gray

Intro:
A   A   D A  E7
A   A   D A  Bm

Verse:

A
The city gates at twilight

    A
And a red ship sinking

A                            E7
Behind winter's grey wall

A
Ice in the wind

      A
But a fire in the embers

      D
Of my heart

   A                Bm
As darkness falls

   A
In a candlelit room

            A
Where your eyes are laughing

D               A           E7
Smoking in the red chair

A
And nothing in the world

          A
'cept the beating of my heart

            D
Against the nerves of the air

A      D A  E7


       A
And I know there's a light

       A
At the end of the tunnel

         D                   A E7
'cause I taste it on your lips

    A
And I feel a weight

         A
That can bend me double

    D                A           Bm
You lift it with your fingertips

   A
So often it happens

     A
That words prove useless

       D       A            E7
In the face of how it feels

      A                     A
So it is as the mystery of love

Keeps growing

   D        E       A
The more my heart reveals

A   D E  A
A   D  A E7  A
A   D A  E7


    A
Temptations endless whispers

       A
Try to keep it in perspective

D           A        E7
So much to distract

A
Walking on a wire

            A
While your juggling desire

         D            A             E7
It's all part of your balancing act

            A
And it gets hard to know

     A
Just what you believe

       D                E7
As the argument rages on

        A
But for all of the talk

          A
It's only true to say

            D
That if you have no hope

         A
There is none... bridge

Bridge:
C  A  C  A
C  A  D E A

Verse:

  A
A tangle of tongues

A
Flesh flowers and thistles

    D           A              E7
Of conscience, spittle and skin

    A
We can't change the past

         A                      D
So we'll raise this cup to our lips

    A               E7
And drink it all in

    A                 A
And meantime back in civilisation

    D       A       E
The rain is cold as steel

        A
But the mystery of love

    A
It just keep growing

    D       C#m7    A
The more my heart reveals

I'm bridging, I'm bridging...

Bridge:
C  A  C  A
C  G A  D E  A

Verse:

   A
As sure as the rose

    F#m         A
The bright day blooms

    D               A   E7
As surely still it fades

        A
And the night kindles stars

    F#m
On empty winds

    D                          E7
And ghosts along the collonades

    A
And slow but sure

    F#m
The sands are falling

        D     A
As the bridge burns

            E7
Beneath the wheel

        A
And the mystery of love

    F#m
It just keeps growing

    D       E7      A
The more my heart reveals

    D       E       A
The more my heart reveals

Outro:

    D       E       A
The more my heart reveals (keep going)

    D       E       A
The more my heart reveals

(just let it play)
    D       E       A


 D E  A
Ohhhhh


         D          E
Let that candle burn

A   D E  A  D
