[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

[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...

[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
