Chords for Benjamin Tod, "Beautiful Curse," // GemsOnVHS™

[N] It's [G] pain that brings us together.
I think, [A]
like Paul Simon [F#] playing for the 10 year anniversary of the World Trade Center's The Sound of Silence.
It's like he wrote that song [G] _ how many [F#] years _ before that event, but like that song _ encapsulated _ _ that [F] moment.
And _ _ [G] it's the duty of [E] _ _ artists to [Em] _ go into the darkness and bring something back that's tangible for people to heal themselves with. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Things I try to lock _ [G] inside and too ugly [C] to bear
[G] _ _ [Em] Find the seam [D] inside my dream [C] and begin to [Em] tear
_ Through _
[D] my eyes they come [A] alive [G] and beckon for [C] a stare
_ [G] _
[Em] In your throat [D] I hit a note [C] for bells above to [Em] hear _ _
_ _ _ _ And [G] the silence weeps for which [A] of us [C] will leave with something [D] _ _ _ _ _
worse
[G] _ [Am] Oh _ what a _
[C] beautiful [Em] _ curse _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Take me out and put me [G] down I'm dying for a [C] cure
_ [G] _ [Em] In this room [D] a tortured few [C]
feast upon a [Em] spur _ _ _
[D] No one sees the artist [G] weep the bounty of his [C] word
[G] _
_ [E] _ Desperately _ [D] try to breathe [C] and dig until it [Em] hurts _
_ _ _ _ And [G] the silence [Am] weeps for which of us [C] will leave with [G] something [D] _ _ worse _
[G] _ _ _ [A] Oh [Am] what a _ [Em] beautiful _ curse _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Brother [D] can you shape these [G] hands and teach them how to feel _ _
[Em] Something _ more than [D] how to scorn [C] or burn [Em] you in a deal _ _
Who [D] needs games or tempting fate [G] when you know how to [C] steal
_ _ [Em] Seeing you the [D] same old fool [C] I was when things were [Em] real
_ _ _ _ _ And [G] the silence weeps [A] for which of us will leave with something _ [D] _ _
worse
_ _ [Em] _ _ [A] Oh what [C] a _ beautiful [Em] _ curse
What's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
that one about?
[N] _ _ People throughout the history of [G] time have been willing to go into [F#] the darkness [G] and live [F#] there and report back to humanity.
[N] _ _
[F#] I've had a lot of good [G] friends go there and not come [F#] back or come back never the [N] same. _
Why do [A] you think some come back and some don't? _ _
_ _ [N] _ It's just _ the cards
