 this chord  is played over the A repeatedly during the song
 I thought I was smart  - I thought I was right
 I thought it better  not to fight
 I thought there was a virtue  in always  being cool
 so when it came  time to fight  - I thought I'll  just step aside
 and that time  would prove you wrong  and you  would be the fool...
 ...I don't know  where the sun  beams end and the star  lights begin
 It's all a mystery
 as before
 Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
 Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
 And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
 I just wet and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
 Was the fool
 as before
 I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
 Light begins it's all a mystery
 And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
 Own life - it's all a mystery
 as before
 I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
 Light begins it's all a mystery
 And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
 Own life - it's all a mystery
 end on an A, plus Aadd9
