( capo 1 )

intro : F F F F

F C
i was almost outta here nearly this time
Dm C F C
i saw you in my rear view mirror and i pulled up on a dime
Dm F
but nothing ventured nothing lost
F C
you can’t say we didn’t try
Dm C F C
that is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried

F Dm
why do we do this to each other
C B C F
i guess we were always poison lovers

F C
if you could look me in the eyes and tell me what you see
Dm C F C
maybe you can tell me why i let you torture me
Dm C F C
i know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs
Dm C F C
but i’ve been listening long enough and my heart has turned to stone

F Dm
why do we do this to each other
C B C F
i guess we were always poison lovers

instr ( solo ) : F Dm C B C F F

F C
another time another place another wind to blame
Dm C F C
cover every track and trace i’ll find you just the same
Dm C F C
and even if we made our peace and went our separate ways
Dm C F C
you’d go west and i’d go east and we’d meet here in this place

F Dm
why do we do this to each other
C B C
i guess we were always poison lovers
F Dm
why do we do this to each other
C B C F
i guess we were always poison lovers

outro : F Dm C B C ( x2 )
