[G] [Cm] [G]
I [Cm] like my town, need [Fm] a little drop of poison.
[G] Nobody knows, they're lining up to go insane.
I'm [Cm] all alone, I smoke [Fm] my friends down to the filter.
[G] Well I feel much cleaner after it rains.
And [Cm] she left in the fall, that's a picture on the wall.
Always had that little [Fm] drop of poison.
[G] [Cm] Did the devil make the world [Fm] while God was sleeping?
[G] You'll never get a wish from a bone.
Another [Cm] wrong goodbye, and a [Fm] hundred sailors.
[G] That deep blue sky is [Cm] my home.
And she left in the fall, that's a picture on the wall.
Always had that little drop [Fm] of poison.
[G]
[Cm] [C#m]
Well the rat always knows when he's [F#m] in with weasels.
[G#] Here you lose a little [C#] every [C#m] day.
Well I remember [C#] when a million [F#m] was a million.
[G#] They all have ways to make [C#m] you pay.
And she left in the fall, that's a picture on the wall.
Always had [F#m] that little drop of poison.
[G#]
[C#m] And she left in the fall, that's a picture on the wall.
Always had that [F#m] little drop of poison.
[G#]
