F#5                                  C#5 
I was almost outta here nearly this time 
D#5       D#5  F#5                                    C#5 
I saw you in my   rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime 
D#5                  F#5 
But nothing ventured nothing lost 
F#5                      C#5 
You can't say we didn't try  
D#5     D#5     F#5                                  C#5 
That is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried 
F#5                        D#5  D#5 
Why do we do this to each other 
C#5                            B5  C#5   F#5 
I guess we were always poison lovers 
F#5 
If you could look me in the eyes 
                     C#5 
And tell me what you see 
D#5    D#5     F#5                            C#5 
Maybe you can     tell me why I let you torture me 
  D#5            F#5                                       C#5 
I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs 
D#5           D#5    F#5 
But I've been listening long enough 
                       C#5 
My heart has turned to stone  
F#5                        D#5 D#5 
Why do we do this to each other 
C#5                            B5  C#5   F#5 
I guess we were always poison lovers 
 
SOLO 

 
F#5 
And Another time another place 
                C#5    D#5    D#5     F#5 
Another wind to blame cover  every      track and trace 
                       C#5  
I'll find you just the same  
    D#5         F#5 
And even if we made our peace 
                      C#5 
And went our separate ways 
D#5               F#5 
You'd go west and I'd go east 
                           C#5 
And we'd meet here in this place 
F#5                         D#5 D#5 
Why do we do this to each other 
C#5                            B5  C#5 
I guess we were always poison lovers 
F#5                         D#5  D#5 
Why do we do this to each other 
C#5                            B5  C#5    F#5 
I guess we were always poison lovers
