A augmentedA Dmsus7
Picture yourself, Set up for good in a whole other life
A augmentedA
In the mystery zone
A augmentedA
Make us a house, Some far away town
Dmsus7 A augmentedA
Where nobody will know us well, Where your dad's not around
A augmentedA
And all the trouble you look for all your life
Dmsus7 A augmentedA
You will find it for sure, In the mystery zone
A augmentedA FmajC
Times that we met
GmajD A augmentedA
Before we met...hhmmm light on mister (?)
FmajC GmajD
Times that we met...hmmmm
A augmentedA
We'll go there
(
FF *bass* 
G+G) 
A minorAm and Asus(pluck through whole chorus)
To the mystery zone
(FF *bass* G+G) A minorAm and 
AsusAsus
Ah the mystery zone
A augmentedA
There goes the rider, At gates of dawn
Dmsus7 A augmentedA
He takes no prisoners at all, He'll be there on his own
A augmentedA
What gets him going, Off down that road
Dmsus7 A augmentedA
Is something he don't understand, ooo the mystery zone
A augmentedA
Maybe all he wants, Maybe all he needs
Dmsus7
Is to know that the sun don't set
A augmentedA
On the mystery zone
A augmentedA FmajC GmajD A augmentedA
How come it feels so familiar When you never been there?
A augmentedA FmajC GmajD A augmentedA
How come it seems so unreachable You never tried to find
A augmentedA (FF *bass* G+G) A minorAm and AsusAsus
Never tired to find the mystery zone
(FF *bass* G+G) A minorAm and AsusAsus
Mystery zone, oooh
