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 From: Harlan L Thompson WHEN THE SPELL IS BROKEN- Richard Thompson

                      Dm
Oh when the spell is broken

           F             Am
All your magic and your ways and schemes
All your lies come and tear at your dreams When the spell is broken (can't cry if you don't know how) 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 SOLO (over Dm Gm)
       Am                         Bb
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 (when the spell when the spell when the spell) When the spell is broken When the spell is broken, 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
