Dm A Dm
We've heard the tale since we were young,
C F
Heard the songs that have been sung,
Dm A
About an evil spell.
Dm A Dm
Someone beautiful is cursed
C F
We feel sad through every verse
Gm A
Til a kiss and all is well
F A
The message that no one can see
Gm A C
Is clearer to someone like me
F C Dm
There is no curse or evil spell
Gm Dm C
That's worse than one we give ourselves
F Dm C F
There is no sorceror as cruel,
C
As the proud, angry fool.
F C Dm
And yet, we cry life isn't fair
Gm Dm C
Beneath our cries the truth is there
F Dm C
The power that will break the spell
Gm A
We should know very well
Gm C F
Is locked within ourselves
C# G#
Yet we'd rather blame,
C# D# F
And curse our fate than change
Dm Am G#m
We run from everyone to hide from the pain
D# C# C
And all the shame
F C Dm
The story's old we know it well
Gm Dm C
About a wretched evil spell
F Bb C F
The power that will break this curse
Gm A
Oh I know all too well
Gm C F
Is locked within myself
