Intro & Chorus
==============
Bm G D Dsus4 D Asus4

Since that might be a little confusing to some, here's the tab.  I'm
not going to bother to put in the strumming pattern.
    
 (this part
 is only in
 the intro)  Bm          G        D        Asus4

---------2---4-----------0--------2--2--2--2---------------
-------------4-----------0--------0--0--0--2---------------

It only does the D thingie in the choruses, I believe.

Prechorus
=========
Em G Em G A

Other than the solo (half of which is backwards), that's the whole
song.  I've included my interpretation of the lyrics, since I'm such
a fan of Sarah's.


You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You stretch your aster-wear?
And your suicide ?
And a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You live in a church
Where you live with voodoo dols
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
When you smile it won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way

You're so beautiful
Isn't it charming
You're so careful when I'm in your arms

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, and holding in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off of fears
And hold back your tears, oh
You give us a tantrum
And a know-it-all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's fading

You're her beautiful
A beautiful, f**ked up man
You set it up
