Mystery Injury
F G- F G-
Verse 1
F G-
Sometimes when I play outside I hurt myself and I don’t know why
F G- Bb
Scraping my knee is my tendency Not sure what happened it’s a mystery
F G-
Coming home from school at last You see a bruise on my leg and you start to ask
F G- Bb
“How’d you get that bruise at school” I can’t say, it’s just what I do
Chorus
C D-
It’s a mystery injury
C Bb
It’s a mystery, even to me
C D-
It’s a mystery injury
Bb D- C
And I don’t know how it got on
F G- F G-
Me
Verse 2
F G-
Runnin just as fast as I can I didn’t see that bump as I ran
F G- Bb
Here I go flying through the air But I’ll get right up because I don’t care
F G-
I guess that’s how I bruised my knee I’m glad you weren’t there to see
F G- Bb
You’d only want to coddle me As you can see, I don’t need sympathy
Chorus

Fallin’ down, scraping my knee, running into walls and tripping on things
D- A- G-
I guess that’s how I get these dings, but you don’t have to worry about the
Bb C
little things
D- A- D- A-
Hitting my head is a little worse, but I just see it as par for the course
D- A- G-
It’s possible I’ll shed a tear and then I’ll be glad that
Bb Bb-
You are here
F G- F G-
With me
Verse 3
F G-
I’m adding to my wounded knee, As I run through the yard and prepare to leap

It’s the third time I’ve tried it today. Each time I know that my legs might pay
