(Capo 2)
Intro: C5 C5 G5 C5
Verse 1:
C5
Love was kind, for a time
G5 C5
Now just aches, and it makes me blind
C5
This mirrors holds my eyes too bright
G5 C5
That I can't see the others in my life
C5
We too young and heads too strong
G5 C5
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
C5
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
G5 C5
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.
Chorus 1:
F5 C5 G5 C5
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage
F5 C5 G5 C5
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead
F5 C5
Should you shake my ash to the wind
G5 C5
Lord forget all of my sins
F5 C5 G5 C5
Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes
Break: C5 F5 (3x)
Verse 2:
C5
Cuz there's no drink or drug I've tried
G5 C5
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
C5
And I feel numb beneath your tongue
G5 C5
Your strength just makes me feel less strong

Break: C5 F5 (3x)

But I walk slow, I walk slow

Take my hand, help me on my way.
