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
