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...
