The Poison Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
You were [C]so young
And I guess I'm old
Open [F]your eyes
I'll keep mine closed
I [C]prefer standing
And you take your seat
I'll be [F]wide awake
And you'll be asleep

[Verse 2]
And you'll fall [Am]down [Em]a hol[C]e[F]
That's the [Am]one p[Em]lace[C]
[G]we [F]both know
You take me [Am]with you [G]if you could,
[C]but I wouldn't go[F]
I guess that [C]sometimes [G]we
both loose [F]our minds

[Interlude 1]
To find a better road
[C][Am][G][F]

[Verse 3]
I can [C]be pensive
You can be so sure
[G]You'll [C]be [F]the poison
You'll [Gsus4]be the cu[F]re
I'm alone on the [C]journey
I'm alive none the less
And when you [F]do your very worst
Mm it feels the best

[Verse 4]
And you'll fall [Am]down [Em]a hol[C]e[F]
That's the [Am]one p[Em]lace
[C]we [G]bot[F]h know
You take me [Am]with you [G]if you could,
[C]but I wou[G]ldn't go[F]
I guess [C]sometimes we
both loose [F]our minds
To find a [Am]better[C][Am]
[F]road

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][G][Am][Bb]
[G]

[Verse 5]
And you'll fall [Am]down [Em]a
[C]hol[G]e[F]
That's the [Am]one place i[Em]n th[G]is
[C]world that we [G]both [F]know
You take me [Am]with you [Em]if you co[C]uld
But [A]if you could I'd lose

[Interlude 3]
everything
[A][Dm]

[Verse 6]
Can't you see the [Am]faces melting as
the [C]sun rains from their [Dm]eyes
Who are you to [A]keep [Am]your head with the
[C]hearts that you hand be[Dm]hind
[D]Look at your[E]self, look in the [F]mirror,
don't you see a [Am]lie?
[F]That [Am]you t[Dm]ell [D]yourself
again a [Dm]thousand times
And the truth [D]that makes us
laugh will make [Dm]you cry
You wanna [G]die? No?

[Verse 7]
So you fall [C]down [Am]a hol[F]e
That's the one [C]place[Em]
[Am]where we b[G]oth know[F]
You take [C]me with you if [Am]you could,
but I [C]wouldn't [F]go
Because some[C]times we both
loose [F]our minds
To find a better road
