[Intro]
Am    Am    Am6  Am   C/G    C/G  G   Em   F   F

[verse 1]
    Am        Am6  Am    C/G  G    Em       F
You hold it     in    your    hands,    let it flow, 
      Am        Am6     Am    C/G      G    Em    F
this cruelty, of youth as you fall   again      alone
        Am     G   Em   F      C
and the compromise of truth

[chorus ]
F             Am          G                        F
  It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
           Am                 G
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

Am    Am   Am6   Am   C/G    C/G   G   Em   F   F

[verse 2]
         Am       Am6        Am    C/G  G        Em         F
and the stakes, remain   too     high,   from the silent mind
         Am         Am6      Am    C/G  G         Em             F
and the shake, the lonely        inch,   that course down my spine
   Am        G      F
to leave the love divine
       Am        G     F     C
don't leave the love divine
F                        C
   it's a water tight excuse

[chorus ]
F              Am          G                        F
   It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
           Am                 G                 F
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
             Am          G                        F      F
It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger

[verse 3]
Am             Am6       Am          C/G  G             F
  How does the earth around your   feet,   just slip away?
      Am          Am6     Am        C/G  G          Em   F
And abandon will greet you in the   night, with snake eyes,
     Am     G      F      C
the most precious time

[chorus]

F              Am          G                        F
   It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
           Am                 G                 F
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
             Am          G                        F      F
It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
