[Bb] [D]
When the spell is broken, when the spell is broken, how [F] you [A] ever gonna keep on now?
You can't [Gm] cry if you don't know how.
When the [D] spell is broken, when the spell is broken, all [F] the [A] joy is gone from her face.
Welcome [D] back to [Gm] the human race.
[A] How [Am] long [A] can the flame [Bb] of love remain?
[D] When you [C] curse [F] [Bb] and fight [C] and never [F] see [Bb] a light, or [C] hear a light spoken.
When the [D] spell is broken,
[Bb] [D] [Bb]
[Gm] when the [D] spell is broken, when the spell is broken, all [F] your
[Am] magic and your ways and schemes, [A] all your [D] lies [Gm] climb to the trees.
When [Bb] the spell [D] is broken, [Dm]
[D] when the spell is broken,
[Fm] you're heading [A] to that [Am] same borderline.
[A] It's just a [Gm] rousing one this time.
[A] When love has died, [Bb] but none starry-eyed.
[C] No kiss, [Bb] no tears, [C] no farewell [F] [Bb] souvenirs, [Am] not [C] even a token.
When the [D] spell is broken.
