Mother Of Mysteries Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE]
Oh, I wish I believed, if [F]only for [C]you
In a sweet ever after beyond the [G]blue
In an [C]eternal father, who [F]after the [C]fall
He cast us all [Am]out of the [G]garden

[PRE-CHORUS]
But [F]I've found an Eden [Em]I can believe in
[F]Leavened with [Am]nothing but [G]time

[CHORUS]
There is [F]grandeur in this view of [C]life
Where one becomes many through struggle and[G] strife
But the [C]mother of mysteries is a[F]nother man's [C]call
Why is there something instead of [G]nothing at [Am]all
[C]Why is there something instead of [F]nothing at [C]all

[VERSE]
If the devil's own chaplain is [F]leading the [C]prayer
From a book that's been written with sorrow and [G]care
Then his [C]hand is indifferent, but it [F]isn't un[C]kind
No evil de[Am]sign in his [G]sermon

[PRE-CHORUS]
For [F]I hear a chorus of [Em]those gone before us
[F]Scored upon [Am]pages of [G]stone

[CHORUS]
There is [F]grandeur in this view of [C]life
Where one becomes many through struggle and[G] strife
But the [C]mother of mysteries is a[F]nother man's [C]call
Why is there something instead of [G]nothing at [Am]all
[C]Why is there something instead of [G]nothing at [F]all_[Em]__ [F] [G] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE]
Oh, what an utter desert is a [F]life without [C]love
Would that your blessing alone was e[G]nough
To [C]abandon my doubt in the [F]veil of your [C]tears
Oh, my dear, how the [Am]fabric has [G]fallen

[PRE-CHORUS]
For [F]I've found an Eden [Em]I can believe in
[F]Free from the [Am]master's de[G]sign

[CHORUS]
There is [F]grandeur in this view of [C]life
Where one becomes many through struggle and[G] strife
But the [C]mother of mysteries is a[F]nother man's [C]call
Why is there something instead of [G]nothing at [Am]all
Oh, [C]why is there something instead of [G]nothing at [C]all
