Am                    G
You hold it, in your hands
             F          Am
And let it flow, this cruelty
                 G
Of youth as you fall again
  F            Am    G        F
Alone, In the compromise of truth

Chorus:
F           Am           G                       F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
             Am                G
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

And the stakes remain too high
For this silent mind
And the shake, the lonely itch
That courses down my spine
To leave a love divine
Don’t leave a love divine
Its a water tight excuse

Chorus:
It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes
I can tell you will always be danger

How does the earth around your feet
Just slip away?
And the bandit that greets you in the night
With snake eyes, the most precious kind

Chorus:
It's in the eyes!
I can tell, you will always be danger!
We had it tonight! Why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
