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
Love letters you wrote
Get pushed back down your throat
And leave you choking
When the Spell is broken

When the spell is broken
Can't cry if you don't know how, can't cry if you don't know how
Can't cry if you don't know how, can't cry if you don't know how


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.
