Verse 1
[G] I hear footsteps in the hall every night,
[Em7] and there’s a shadow underneath my door
There’s a [Am7]hole punched through the wall,
are you happy now?[D]
Your memory cuts [G]into my day,
it [Em7]buries all my nights away
Thinking of [Am7]you is like digging my own grave
You’re my poison now[D]
Pre-Chorus 1
Cause you still [C]call,
when you [G]need someone to love,
when you [Em7]need a hand to touch
Threw my face[D] down in the mud
And watch me [C]fall
Till I’m [G]crawling on knees,
till my [Em7]fingers crack and bleed
And you’ve [D]taken every part of me
Chorus
[C] You’re my [G]poison now[D]
[C] You’re my [G]poison now[D]
Can I [C]drain every [G]drop of you out?[D]
'Cause [C]all… that… you… are[D] is poison
Verse 2
[G] It’s not because I’m left alone to wonder why
[Em7] Or what became of the heart that was shaped so much by mine
Even that [Am7]now that I’m a stranger in your eyes
That’s not what that tears me down[D]
It’s how you made my [G]worst of days never seem as grey
[Em7] It’s remembering your mouth and the way it tastes
It’s [Am7]Rosemary Beach on a sunny day
Yeah, that’s my poison now[D]
Pre-Chorus 2
Cause you still [C]call,
when you [G]need someone to love,
when you [Em7]need a hand to touch
Threw my face[D] down in the mud
And watch me [C]fall
Till I’m [G]broken and I'm weak,
till I'm [Em7]crawling on my knees
And you’ve [D]taken every part of me
Chorus
[C] You’re my [G]poison now[D]
[C] You’re my [G]poison now[D]
Can I [C]drain every [G]drop of you out?[D]
'Cause [C]all… that… you… are[D] is poison
Interlude 2
[C] Yeah,[D] poison,[Em7] babe,[D/F#] [C][G]whoa[D]
Bridge
[G] I hope there will come a time in your life
[Em7] that light comes back and it shines through your eyes
[Am7] And no one by then will see you enough to find
what won’t be found[D]
'Cause while you’re running [G]through this world, so fucking blind
[Em7] I’m gonna be running free with my arms open wide
For the [Am7]first time in such a long time I can say I’m happy now
[D] I’m happy now, I’m happy now
Final Pre-Chorus
Don’t you [C]call, and [G]tell me you’re still in love
That you [Em7]miss me way too much
Well, [D]you can never see how deep
you made us [C]fall
and turned the [G]flower into a weed
and the [Em7]lover into a thief that has [D]stolen my life from me
Final Chorus
[C] I won’t be [G]poisoned now[D]
[C] I won’t be [G]poisoned now[D]
And I will [C]drain every [G]drop of you out[D]
'Cause [C]all that you are[D] to me
[C]all that you are[D] to me
[C]all you still are[D]
is poison
Outro
You’re[Em7] poison
[Am7] Are you happy now?
