[B] [F#m]
[Bm] [F#m] [Bm]
[F#m]
[E]
[A] I hear footsteps in the hall every night
[F#m] And there's a shadow underneath my door
[Bm] There's a hole plunged through the wall
Are you happy now?
[E]
Your memory cuts [A] into my day
It [F#m] buries all the nights away
Thinking [Bm] of you's like digging my own grave
You're my poison [E] now
Cause you [D] still call
When you [A] need someone to love
When [F#m] you need a hand to touch
I throw my [E] face down in the mud
And watch [D] me fall
Till I'm [A] crawling on my knees
Till [F#m] my fingers crack and bleed
[A] And [E] you've taken every part of [D] me
You're [A] my poison [E]
now
[D]
You're [A] my poison [E]
now
Can [D] I drain [A] every drop of [E] you out?
[D]
Cause all that [E] you are Is poison
[A]
It's
[E] [A]
not because I'm left alone to wonder why
[F#m]
What became of the heart that was shaped so much by mine
Leaving [Bm] that now I'm a stranger in your eyes
That's not what tears me [E]
down
It's how you [A] made my worst of days
Never seem as gray
[F#m]
It's remembering your mouth and the way it tastes
[Bm] It's rosemary beach on a sunny day
Yeah, that's my poison
[E] now
Cause you [D] still call
[A] When you need someone to love
[F#m] When you need a hand to touch
I throw [E] my face down in the mud
And watch [D] me fall
Till [A] I'm broken and I'm weak
[F#m] Till I'm crawling on my knees
And [E] you've taken every part of me
[D]
You're [A] my poison [E]
now
[D]
You're [A] my poison [E]
now
Can [D] I drain every [A] drop of you [E]
out?
[D] Cause all that you [E]
are
[Bm] [D]
Is poison
[E] You [F#m] poison
[E] me
[D] I
[A] [E]
hope
[A]
there will come a
[F#m] day
That light comes back and it shines through your eyes
[Bm] Knowing by then we'll see enough to find
What won't [B] be [E] found
Cause while you're running [A] through this world
So fucking blind
[F#m] I'm gonna be running free with my arms open wide
[Bm] For the first time in such a long time
I can say I'm happy [E] now
I'm happy now, I'm happy now
[D] Don't you call
And [A] tell me you're still in love
[F#m]
That you miss me way too much
[E] Well you could never see how deep you made [D] us fall
You turned [A] the flower into a weed
[F#m] And the lover into a thief
And you've [E] stolen my life from [D]
me
I won't [A] be poison
[E] now
[D]
I [A] won't be poison [E]
now
And I will [D]
drain [A] every drop of [E] you out
Cause [D]
all that you [E]
are to me
[D]
All that you [E]
were to me
[D]
All you still [E]
are Is poison
[A]
[F#m] You're poison
[Bm]
Are you happy now?
[N]
