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


Chorus 1:
      C#m
A poinsettia in 
       A
poison rain
       E
Traded true love for 
           B
insult and injury
   C#m
We washed it down 
    A          E
the drain with one silver

bullet and two vicodin
             E  A B
With two vicodin


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

We washed it down the drain

with one wooden stake
            B                 E  A B E A B
through the heart and two vicodin

We watched the sun fall crown

on a city that sleeps
     B
in a world upside down
   C#m
A slow ticket
                A
straight out of town
         E
You went out with a bang when
    B
you took with you all
               E     A
my dreams underground
     B
With you all my 
            E     A
dreams underground
     B
With you all my 
            E     A
dreams underground
     B
With you all my 
            E     A B E(hold)
dreams underground
