(N.C.) Eb Ab
The poisoned rose
MIb SOL#
That you gave to me
MIb DO
It left me half alive
FA SIb SI9 SIb MIb
And half in ecstasy
MIb7
But if half of your love
SOL#7 LAdim7
Is all I can win
MIb DO7
Give me just a fraction
FA7 SIb MIb SOL#7 MIb
But no more medicine
SIb SIb+ MIb SOL#
The poisoned rose
MIb SOL#
On a Valentine card
MIb DO
That you take straight to the heart
FA SIb SI9 SIb MIb
That you call my junkyard
MIb7
But if all I can do
SOL#7 FA7
is save pieces of you
MIb
The piece of your mind
MIb7 SOL#7
The piece of your heart
LAdim7
Didn't tear me apart
FA7
Like the poisoned rose
SOLm7 SIb7 SOL#
I received from you
DO#9+11
I don't know
MIb
How we came to grow
SIb MIb FA7
Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing
SI9 SIb9
Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
(N.C.) Eb Bb7
The poisoned rose
MIb7 SOL#7
That you wear at your best
MIb DO7
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
FA7 SIb SI9 SIb MIb
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
MIb7 SOL#7
You looked and I dived in
FA7
It's just you and me now
MIb
'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
MIb7 SOL#7
And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
LAdim7
But I couldn't throw away
MIb SOL#
This poisoned rose
MIb SOL#
This poisoned rose
(N.C.) Eb
This poisoned rose
