[F#]I was almost outta here nearly this [C#]time
[D#m]I saw you [D#m/C#]in my [F#]rear view mirror and I pulled up on a [C#]dime
[D#m]But nothing ventured [F#]nothing lost
[F#]You can't say we didn't [C#]try
[D#m]That is [D#m/C#]unless you [F#]weighed the costs of every tear we c[C#]ried
[F#]Why do we do this to each [D#m9]other[D#m]
[C#]I guess we were always poison [B]lov[C#]ers[F#]
[F#]If you could look me in the eyes
And tell me what you [C#]see
[D#m]Maybe y[D#m/C#]ou can [F#]tell me why I let you torture [C#]me
I [D#m]know that your [F#]lips are soft and they sing the sweetest [C#]songs
[D#m]But I've been [D#m/C#]listening [F#]long enough
My heart has turned to [C#]stone
[F#]Why do we do this to each [D#m9]other[D#m]
[C#]I guess we were always poison [B]lov[C#]ers[F#]
SOLO
[F#]And Another time another place
Another wind to [C#]blame [D#m]cover [D#m/C#]every [F#]track and trace
I'll find you just the [C#]same
And [D#m]even if we m[F#]ade our peace
And went our separate [C#]ways
[D#m]You'd go west and [F#]I'd go east
And we'd meet here in this [C#]place
[F#]Why do we do this to each o[D#m9]ther[D#m]
[C#]I guess we were always poison [B]lov[C#]ers
[F#]Why do we do this to each o[D#m9]ther[D#m]
[C#]I guess we were always poison [B]lov[C#]ers[F#]
