[A] [G]
[C]
[G] a freeze dried rose, you will never be [C] what you were, what you were to me a memory
But if I [G] listen to the dark, [Bm] you'll embrace me like a star
And [C] velvet me, and velvet me
[D]
[G] If things get real for me [Bm] down here, promise [C] to take me to before you went away
[D] If only for [G] a day, if things get real for me down [Bm]
here
Promise [C] to take me back to the tune we played before you went [D] away

[D]
you're [G] my mystery, one mystery, [Bm] my mystery, [C] my mystery
[G] My silence [Bm] solidifies to that hollow void [C] that erases you, erases you
So I can feel it all before [G] I never feel again, at least that nothingness will [Bm] end the [C] painful dream
Of you and me

[Em]
[G] [C] you're [G] my mystery, one mystery, my mystery, my mystery
I have [D] the courage or the leap to [E] trust this place, [Em] but I'm trying
[C] Cause it felt like [G] a lie, and I'm sure I felt your [B] fingers through my hair
