Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Dm][A][Dm][A][Dm][Am][A]
When [Dm]the spell is broken

[Verse 1]
[A]
When [Dm]the spell is [A]broken
How you [C]ever gonna [Em]keep her now
You can't cry if you [Dm]don't know how
When the spell is [A]broken
When [Dm]the spell is [A]broken
All the [C]joy is [Em]gone from her face
Welcome back to the [Dm]human race
How [Em]long can the flame
Of [F]love remain
When you [G]curse and [F]fight
And [G]never see [F]like
Or hear like [G]spoken[Gsus4][G]
When the spell [A]is [Am]broken
(Can't cry if you don't know
[Dm]how)[A][Am]
(Can't cry if you don't
know how)
[Dm]When the spell is [A]broken
[Am](Can't cry if you don't
know how)
Oh when [Dm]the spell is [A]broken
All your [C]magic and your [Em]ways and schemes
All your lies come and [Dm]tear
at your dreams
When the spell is [A]broken
(Can't cry [Am]if you don't know how)
When [Dm]the spell is [A]broken
Now you're [C]handing her
that [Em]same old line
It's just straws in [Dm]the wind this time
When [Em]love has died,
[F]There's none starry-eyed
No No [G]kiss, no [F]tears,
No [G]farewell souvenirs
[F]Not even a t[G]oken, whe[Gsus4]n the spe[G]ll is broken

[Interlude 1]
[A][Dm][A][Dm][A]
[Am][Dm][A][Am][A][Dm][A][Am][A][Dm][A][Am][Dm][A][Dm]
[Am][Dm][A]

[Verse 2]
Don't [Em]swear your heart
From the [F]very start
Love [G]letters you wro[F]te
Are [G]pushed back down you throat
[F]And leave you[G] choking,
when the spell is broken
[A](When the spell, When the spell,
[Am]When the spell is broken)
[Dm]When the spell is [Am]broken
[A]When [Dm]the spell is [A]broken
[Am](When the spell, When the spell,
When [A]the spell is broken)
When [Dm]the spell is [Am]broken[A]
When the spell [Dm]is broken

[Interlude 2]
[Am][A][Am]
[Dm][A][Am][Dm][A][Am]

[Verse 3]
(Can't cry if you [Am]don't know
[Dm]how)[A][Am]
(Can't cry if you don't
know how)
(Can't cry [A]if you [Am]don't
[Dm]know [A]how[Am])
(You can't cry if you don't
[Am]know how)
(Can't cry if you don't [Dm]know
[A]how[Am])
(Can't cry if you don't
[Am]know how)
(Can't cry if you don't
know [Am]how)
(Can't cry if you don't
know how)
(Can't cry if you don't know how)
