It Emwasn't quite the Dcurse of CTutankhaEmmenG  Am  
Or the Emkiss of death from DJudas Cin the nighEmtG  Am  
And it Emfelt so far Dbeyond the Cblue hoEmrizonG  Am  
EmTempting me with Dtransports Cof deliEmghtG  Am

And when the Bmdevil took my Ghand and saidAm  
AmCome along with Fme

EmThere I wasD, wide aCwake and dEmreamingG  Am  
EmReaching out for Dsomething Cin the skyEm  G  Am  
But I Emcould not controDl that Ctrembling fEmeelingG  Am  
EmEverything I Dwant is sClipping bEmyG  Am

And when the Bmdevil took my Ghand and said
AmSomething you should Fsee

[Verse 3]
I Emnever knew what Dhappened Cto my nEmightmareG  Am  
EmEverything went Ddark Cthat AugEmust day
And the Emeclipse was on the Dother Cside of EmsomewherGeAm  
But EmI was on the Dupside Cof aEmfraidG  Am  
[Chorus 3]
And then an aBmngel took my Ghand and saidAm
