F# C#

I was almost outta here nearly this time

D#m D#m/C# F# C#

I saw you in my rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime

D#m F#

But nothing ventured nothing lost

F# C#

You can't say we didn't try

D#m D#m/C# F# C#

That is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried

F# D#m9 D#m

Why do we do this to each other

C# B C# F#

I guess we were always poison lovers

F#

If you could look me in the eyes

C#

And tell me what you see

D#m D#m/C# F# C#

Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me

D#m F# C#

I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs

D#m D#m/C# F#

But I've been listening long enough

C#

My heart has turned to stone

F# D#m9 D#m

Why do we do this to each other

C# B C# F#

I guess we were always poison lovers

SOLO

F#

And Another time another place

C# D#m D#m/C# F#

Another wind to blame cover every track and trace

C#

I'll find you just the same

D#m F#

And even if we made our peace

C#

And went our separate ways

D#m F#

You'd go west and I'd go east

C#

And we'd meet here in this place

F# D#m9 D#m

Why do we do this to each other

C# B C#

I guess we were always poison lovers

F# D#m9 D#m

Why do we do this to each other

C# B C# F#

I guess we were always poison lovers
