Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][F][E]
The [Am]devil take this Orpheus

[Verse 1]
[Am]
And his belladonna kiss
[D]Beautiful and poisonous
[F]Lovely, [E]deadly
[Am]Now it thickens on my tongue
Now it quickens in my lung
[D]Now I'm stricken, now I'm stung!
[F]It's done [Am]already![E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Dangerous [E]this [F]jack of [E]hearts
[Am]With his [E]kiss, the ri[F]ot [E]starts
[Am]All my children came

[Verse 3]
here poor
Clamoring for bed and board
[D]Now what do they clamor for?
[F]Freedom! [E]Freedom!
[Am]Have I made myself their Lord
Just to fall upon the sword
[D]Of some pauper's minor chord?
[F]Who will [E]lead them?
[Am]Who lays

[Verse 4]
all the be[F]st [Am]laid [E]plans?
[Am]Who makes work f[E]or i[F]dle hands?
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Only one thing to be done
Let them think that they
[E]have won[Am]
[D]Let them leave together
Under [F]one [E]con[Am]dition:
Orpheus, the undersigned
Shall not turn to look behind
[C]She[D]'s out of sight
And he's out of his [F]mind[E]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Every coward [C]seems cour[E]ageous
[F]In the safety [E]of the crowd
[Am]Bravery can be contagious
When [F]the band is playing [E]loud
[Am]Nothing makes a man so bold
As a [F]woman's smile and a [E]hand to hold
[Am]But all alone his blood runs thin
[F]And doubt comes
[E]Doubt comes in
