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