Dm
When the spell is broken
When the spell is broken
Am
How you ever gonna keep enough
Gm
You cant cry if you dont know how.
Dm
When the spell is broken
When the spell is broken
Am
All the joy is gone from her face
Gm
Welcome back to the human race
Am Bb
How long can the flame of love remain
C Bb
When you curse and you fight
C Bb
And never see the light
C
Or hear a word spoken
Dm
When the spell is broken
When the spell is broken
(2nd verse)
When the spell is broken
All your magic and your ways and schemes
All your lies come and tear at your dreams
When the Spell is broken
When the Spell is broken
Are you handing her that same old line
It's just straws in the wind this time
When Love has died, there's none left starry eyed
No kiss and no tears
No farewell souveniers, not even a token
When the Spell is broken
(3rd verse)
(solo)
Don't swear your heart
From the very start
Love letters you wrote
Get pushed back down your throat
And leave you choking
When the Spell is broken

NOTE: I believe I found a few more chords and reordered the words a bit,
but in general this is a rip off of the previous version.
