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
