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
