Intro: C C G C 

Verse 1: 

           C           
Love was kind, for a time 
           G                      C 
Now just aches, and it makes me blind 
              C                   
This mirrors holds my eyes too bright 
              G                    C 
That I can't see the others in my life 

          C                    
We too young and heads too strong 
              G                       C 
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes 
             C                     
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue 
              G                     C 
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes. 

 
            F               C            G                 C 
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage 
            F           C             G                C 
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead 
             F                   C 
Should you shake my ash to the wind 
         G             C 
Lord forget all of my sins 
           F           C                G                  C 
Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes 

Break: C  F (3x) 

Verse 2: 
                 C 
Cuz there's no drink or drug I've tried  
             G                      C 
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes 
             C                           
And I feel numb beneath your tongue 
                     G                    C 
Your strength just makes me feel less strong 

Chorus: 

Break: C  F (3x) 

Bridge: (2x)
 
             C           G   C 
But I walk slow, I walk slow 
         Am           F       C 
Take my hand, help me on my way. 

Instrumental: C G C Am F C (4x) 

Bridge: (2x)
