MGMT
MGMT (2013) - Mystery Disease
Note: The chord written as an "C/E" is actually meant to be an
E minor chord with an added minor sixth (not replacing the fifth),
but I do not know a way to write such chord, so "C/E" will have to do.
Bear it in mind when playing the song though.
Intro: C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7
C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E Em
It can't pay attention
B7 Bm7
What slips into the system
C/E Em
A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep
Bm7 Em
Don't sympathize with the mystery disease
C/E Em
All it is is a feeling
B7 Bm7
Pain in a dress too revealing
C/E Em
A lost bond, an old friend who likes what it sees
Bm7 Em
You can't shake off the mystery disease
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E Em
Lovers in a past life
B7 Bm7
Meet in the street close to midnight
C/E Em
A last look, sweet like the end of a dream
Bm7 Em
Then fall back into the mystery disease
C/E Em
Go on, tell your symptoms to me
B7 Bm7
It's not in any of the books you can read
C/E Em
It's no fun to face what you don't get to be
Bm7 Em
But what's one more to the mystery disease?
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E Em
Floating impatience
B7 Bm7
Snuffs my limited sapience
C/E Em
Black smoke as soon as the pressure's released
Bm7 Em
Deep space sighs, the Mystery Disease
C/E Em
Consumed by a weakness
B7 Bm7
Cut with perpetual unrest
C/E Em
You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen
Bm7 Em
Trap what you want, waste what you need
C/E Em
And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves
B7 Bm7
Emperors of history fall to their knees
C/E Em
Small fronds can't see the wood for the trees
Bm7 Em
Left in the dust of the mystery disease
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
