[Verse]
E F#m
If you could paint her, she'd be a Picasso.
A E B
She's got a few things out of place.
E F#m
Like when she smiles, it's slightly out of line.
A E B
It's half awkward, yet half grace.
A F#m
While you're unraveling this mystery
A E B
Of where she fits in time and space,
A Am
She'll drag you into this lover's tale,
Abm E
Though she will not give a reason.
A Am
And if you fight her tooth and nail,
Abm F#m
She won't give up until you lose
[Chorus]
E F#m
She wants the last word, the last dance.
A E B
She thinks it's absurd that you believe in second chances.
E F#m
You're a lost cause, yet here she is.
A B E
And that's the mystery. Here she is
[Verse]
E F#m
She's a poem by Ferlinghetti.
A E B
She's the angel in a nursery rhyme
E F#m
She'll set you a place at your table,
A E B
Then fill your cup till you're drunk on red wine.
A Am
She don't believe in stars or in miracles,
Abm E
But she reads your horoscope daily.
A Am
And if your response is too cynical,
Abm F#m (B?)
She'll say, "Who are you to know?"
[Chorus]
E F#m
She wants the last word, the last dance.
A E B
She thinks it's absurd that you believe in second chances.
E F#m
You're a lost cause, yet here she is.
A B E
And that's the mystery. Here she is
Here she is, here she is
Here she is...
[Bridge]
A Am
While you're unraveling this mystery
Abm E
Of where she fits in time and space,
A Am
She'll memorize your history
Abm F#m (B?)
And decorate your place.
[Chorus]
E F#m
She wants the last word, the last dance.
A E B
She thinks it's absurd that you believe in second chances.
E F#m
You're a lost cause, yet here she is.
A B A
And that's the mystery. Here she is
Am Abm F#m
Here she is, here she is
E
Here she is...
