INTRO:

D Bm Em A

VERSE:

I hear footsteps in the Hall every night,

I see a shadow underneath my door

There’s a hole punched threw the wall,

Are you happy now?

Your memory cuts into my days,

And then buries all my nights away

Speaking of you is like digging my own grave

You’re my poison now

PRE-CHORUS:

Cause you still call,

When you need someone to love,

When you need a hand to touch

Or throw my face down in the mud

And watch me fall

Till I’m crawling on knees,

Till my fingers crack and bleed

A G

Cause you’ve taken every part of me

CHORUS:

G D A

You’re my poison now

G D A

You’re my poison now

G D A

Can I drain every drop of you out?

G D A

Cause all you are now

D D

Is poison

Bm Bm

You’re poison

VERSE:

It’s not because I’m left alone to wonder why

Or what became of the heart

That will shape so much with mine

Even that now I’m a stranger in your eyes

That’s not what tears me down

It’s how you made my worst of days

Never seem as grey

It’s remembering the sunshine on your face

And knowing that once the sweetest taste

Is only poison now

PRE-CHORUS:

Cause you still call,

When you need someone to love,

When you need a hand to touch

Or throw my face down in the mud

And watch me fall

Till I’m crawling on knees,

Till my fingers crack and bleed

A G

Cause you’ve taken every part of me

CHORUS:

G D A

You’re my poison now

G D A

You’re my poison now

G D A

Can I drain every drop of you out?

G D A

Cause all you are now

Is poison

INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:

G D A

G D A A D

VERSE:

I Hope there will be a time in your life

That our light comes back and it shines through your eyes

And when you can see clear enough to find

I won’t be found

So while you’re running through this world, so blind

I’m gonna be running free with my arms open wide

And for the first time in such a long time

I can say I’m happy now

I’m happy now,

I’m happy now

PRE-CHORUS:

So don’t you call,

And tell me you’re still in love

And that you miss me way too much

Cause you don't see how deep

You made us fall

From a flower into a weed

From a lover into a thief

You just stolen my life from me

CHORUS:

G D A

I won’t be poisoned now

G D A

And I won’t be poisoned now

G D A

And I drained every drop of you out

G D A

Cause all you are now

Is who we are

Like you are to me

G A

All you still are

D D

Is poison

Bm Em

You're poison

Are you happy now?
