Verse 1:
           C         Em7
Love was kind, for a time
           G            F          C
Now just aches, and it makes me blind
              C                 Em7
This mirrors holds my eyes too bright
              G             F       C
That I can't see the others in my life

          C                 Em7
We too young and heads too strong
              G              F       C
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
             C                Em7
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
              G             F       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

Verse 2:
                 C                 Em7
Cuz there's no drink or drug I've tried
             G            F        C
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
             C                Em7
And I feel numb beneath your tongue
                     G          F        C
Your strength just makes me... feel less strong

            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

Take my hand, help me on my way.
