Intro: F F F F 

F                                   C
I was almost outta here nearly this time
Dm        C     F                                     C
I saw you in my rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime
Dm                   F
But nothing ventured nothing lost
F                       C
You can't say we didn't try 
Dm      C          F                                    C
That is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried

F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             B   C   F
I guess we were always poison lovers

F                                                                  C
If you could look me in the eyes and tell me what you see
Dm    C       F                             C
Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me
Dm     C         F                                        C
I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs
    Dm        C         F                                           C
But I've been listening long enough and my heart has turned to stone 

F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             B   C   F
I guess we were always poison lovers

Instr (solo): F Dm C B C F F 

F                                                   C
Another time another place another wind to blame
Dm    C     F                                              C
Cover every track and trace I'll find you just the same
    Dm   C      F                                              C
And even if we made our peace and went our separate ways
Dm       C        F                                         C
You'd go west and I'd go east and we'd meet here in this place

F                        Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             B  C
I guess we were always poison lovers
F                         Dm
Why do we do this to each other
C                             B  C    F
I guess we were always poison lovers

Outro: F Dm C B C (x2)
