My wife mentioned that I had never written a song about her specifically so I sat down and wrote this one. After she heard it it, she says, "Thats not me is it? I'm not like that at all, am I?" OK, I did embellish a bit :) It started off as regular chords but it didn't quite sound right, then I altered the chords and slowed it down a little and I was pretty happy with it. I am not sure what genre to call it...

She never sits down with her back to my heart
She's played the fool before so now she plays it smart
She never lets her guard down, always on the run
She plays me like a game that she's already won.

She got those longing looks she doesn't need to say a word.
She's got that delicate touch feels just like a whisper.
She says just close your eyes I've got so much love in side
but girl your love's no good when all you do is hide


She's a mystery to me.
She never says just what she really means
She keeps one bullet in that gun just for me
She's a mystery to me.

Interlude

She takes my breath away she leaves me out in the cold
She takes me by the hand she thinks that I don't know
She doesn't sleep at night she keeps her eyes wide open in the dark
She's got her arms round me but she's got chains round her heart


She's a mystery to me.
She never says just what she really needs
She keeps one bullet in that gun just for me
She's a mystery to me.


She's a mystery to me.
She gives no clues till she plays her final scene
Every line a ruse every deception a victory
She's my mystery.

She's my mystery.

@nancycham Yep, that was me. I closed up shop back in April of 2009 due to the economy. Did you or someone you know take lessons from me?

Are you the one who had a business in guitar lessons in Pleasanton, CA?

@MrRiblet lol, It was one of many nicknames from back in my AirForce days, the Bed Yam is a close relative of the Couch Potato, and since I used to be able to sleep for 16 hours at a shot, they used to call me The Bed Yam.
