MYSTERY DANCE
Elvis Costello
 
G5                                         F5
Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
   G5                                                 F5
He jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still.
G5
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
F5        G5
He said, "Don't bury me, 'cause I'm not dead yet."
 
                                C
Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance.
                       G
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
 
Why don't you show me,
            D                            C
'Cause I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified.
                                             F5
I can't do it anymore, and I'm not satisfied.
 
 
Well, I remember when the lights went out
And I was try'n' to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.
 
Well, I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
Trying to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine,
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean?
