[Verse 1]
Am
Over the arching hills there is a fire  
Am
In that place, desire  
Dm
Did you ever stop to think  
Am
What all of this could bring to you?  

[Verse 2]
Am
Unmistakably inspired  
Am
Wires crossed, synapses fire  
Dm
Vivid thoughts enter your mind  
Am     G
All you needed was some time to think  

[Chorus]
F                                         Am
It's a mystery, why do you always seem to contradict me?  
F
Well, did I ever really have a shot?  
When all the things I'm not  
E
And all the things I am  
Am
Collide  

[Solo]
Am   Am   Dm   Am  

[Verse 3]
Am
Fate flees freely across the open plain  
Am
Hide the feelings, there ain't much to gain  
Dm
In this shameful game there's no one else to blame  

[Bridge]
Am
The fuel, the fire, the self-made pyre  
The emptiness after desire  
Am
The fuel, the fire, the self-made pyre  
The emptiness after desire  
Am
The fuel, the fire, the self-made pyre  
The emptiness after desire  
Am
The fuel, the fire, the self-made pyre  
The emptiness after desire  
[Chorus]
F                                         Am
It's a mystery, why do you always seem to contradict me?  
F
Well, did I ever really have a shot?  
When all the things I'm not  
E
And all the things I am  

[Outro]
F                                         Am
It's a mystery, why do you always seem to contradict me?  
F
Well, did I ever really have a shot?  
When all the things I'm not  
E
And all the things I am  
Am
