[Opening]
[C] [C] [G] [C]
Love was [C]kind, for a time, now just [G]aches, and it makes me [C]blind
This mirrors [C]holds my eyes too bright, that I can’t [G]see the others in my [C]life
[verse 2]
We too [C]young and heads too strong, to bear the [G]weight of these lovers’ [C]eyes
‘Cause I feel [C]numb beneath your tongue, beneath the [G]curse of these lovers’ [C]eyes.
[chorus]
But do not [F]ask the price I [C]pay, I must [G]live with my quiet [C]rage
Tame the [F]ghosts in my [C]head that run [G]wild and wish me [C]dead
Should you [F]shake my ash to the [C]wind, Lord [G]forget all of my [C]sins
Oh let me [F]die where I [C]lie beneath the [G]curse of my lovers’ [C]eyes
[Closing]
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F]
‘Cause there’s no [C]drink or drug I’ve tried, to rid the [G]curse of these lovers’ [C]eyes
And I feel [C]numb beneath your tongue, your strength just [G]makes me feel less [C]strong
[chorus]
But do not [F]ask the price I [C]pay, I must [G]live with my quiet [C]rage
Tame the [F]ghosts in my [C]head that run [G]wild and wish me [C]dead
Should you [F]shake my ash to the [C]wind, Lord [G]forget all of my [C]sins
Oh let me [F]die where I [C]lie beneath the [G]curse of my lovers’ [C]eyes
