[verse 1]
Am Am6 Am C G F You hold it in your hands, let it flow,
Am Am6 Am C G F this cruelty, of youth as you fall again alone
Am G F C and the compromise of truth [chorus 1] (one strum)
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?

[verse 2]
Am Am6 Am C G F and the stakes, remain too high, from the silent mind
Am Am6 Am C G F and the shake, the lonely inch, that course down my spine
Am G F to leave the love divine
Am G F C don’t leave the love divine
F C it’s a water tight excuse [chorus 2]
F Am G F It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
A5 G5 F5 We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
A5 G5 F5 It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger [verse 3]
Am Am6 Am C G F How does the earth around your feet, just slip away?
Am Am6 Am C G F And abandon will greet you in the night, with snake eyes,
Am G F C the most precious time [chorus 2]
F5 A5 G5 F5 It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
A5 G5 F5 We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
A5 G5 F5 It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
