6      6-      6    7-  7   7-   8-
Well, love was kind for a time
7     7-      6-     6-  6-  7-      6-   6
 Now just aches and it makes me blind
 
 
6       6-  6  7-     7-   7     7-   8-
 This mirror holds my eyes too bright
7  7-   6-    6-   6-  6-  7- 6-  6
 I can't see the others in my life
 

 6       6-   6   7-         7-   7      7-   8-
 Were we too young? Our heads too strong?
7    7-   6-   6-       6-   6-     7-  6-   6
 To bear the weight of these lover's eyes.
6        6-   6    7-      7-  7    7-     8-
 'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
7   7-     6-    6-    6-   6-    7-  6-   6 
 Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.

 3-  4    3-   4 3-      3-   3-  3-
 But do not ask the price I paid,
7-  6-   6-   6    6    6 6-   7-
 I must live with my quiet rage,
4       3-   4        3-  3-   3-  
 Tame the ghosts in my head,
7-   6-     6- 6- 6   6     6-    7-
 That run wild and wish me dead.
4         3-     4       3- 3-  3-  3-  3-  
 Should you shake my ash to the wind
7-      6-  6-  6  6  6-  7-
 Lord, forget all of my sins
3-   4  3-  4-  3-       3- 3-
 Oh, let me die where I lie
7-      6-    6-     6   6   6-  6  6 
 Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.

 
 

 6   6      6-  7- 6- 6   6    6-    7- 7  7-
 And I'll walk slow,     I'll walk slow
7-   6-   6           6  6-  7-  7    7-
 Take my hand, help me on my way.
