Verse 1:
E5    
Emma appeared like an angel
A5              B5
Emma fell like rain
  E5
Into my lap like a heart attack
     A5                  B5
like lightning from her name
    E5
I'm running dry of bad excuses
A5                    B5
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
E5
But time hasn't told me 
   A5                     B5
anything and neither has she


Chorus 1:
      C#5
A poinsettia in 
       A5
poison rain
       E5
Traded true love for 
           B5
insult and injury
   C#5
We washed it down 
    A5          E5
the drain with one silver 
       B5           E5  A5 B5
bullet and two vicodin
             E5  A5 B5
With two vicodin


Verse 2:
E5
Emma woke up in darkness
    A5            B5
suitcase already packed
E5
  Note on the bedstand signed 
                 A5
in blood "Sincerely
             B5
never coming back"
  E5
A nightmare on my street
the day she arrived
  A5
A nightmarish household 
   B5
in which she died because 
   E5
it made her feel at home
        A5               B5
Somehow made me feel at home


Chorus 2:
      C#5              A5
A poinsettia in poison rain
       E5
Traded true love for
           B5
insult and injury
   C#5                A5
We washed it down the drain
     E5
with one wooden stake
            B5                 E5  A5 B5 E5 A5 B5
through the heart and two vicodin


Chorus 3:
      C#5

       A5
poison rain
       E5

insult and injury

   C#5                  A5
We watched the sun fall crown
     E5
on a city that sleeps
     B5
in a world upside down
   C#5
A slow ticket
                A5
straight out of town
         E5
You went out with a bang when
    B5
you took with you all
               E5     A5
my dreams underground
     B5
With you all my 
            E5     A5
dreams underground
     B5
With you all my 
            E5     A5
dreams underground
     B5
With you all my 
            E5     A5 B5 E(hold)
dreams underground
