C                        Am
I've seen those signs a million times
      F                     C
The chill that clouds your eyes
                                 Am
The light that shines black as a coal
 F                G
Deep down in the mind
         Am               C
And I'm hungry, and I'm dying of thirst
F                      G
Just suffering from a lover's curse
      C                      F
I'll turn to stone, let the rivers flow,
     G              C
And wash me to the sea

Chorus:
F                     G            C
The curse of love is hanging over me

I've walked the line, stood by your side,
I've kept you company
And all those times you felt like crying,
I held you close to me
Now someone's new put a spell on you
All my worst dreams are coming true
I'll turn to stone,
let the rivers flow and wash me to the sea

Chorus:
The curse of love is hanging over me
The curse of love is hanging over me
Over me

  F                    C
Around the tent, the storm was raging,
                      Am
The gypsy's eyes were wild and blazing
F                      C
Should have listened when she said
        G            Am
You'd slip away from me

The bottle's empty,
I've drunk it dry and still I feel the pain
Well, all we've had is lost now,
like teardrops in the rain
The night is long, I'm tired and weary
But I don't know where this road will lead me
I'll turn to stone,
let the rivers flow and wash me to the sea

Chorus:
The curse of love is hanging over me
The curse of love is hanging over me
